Modularizing Python
Caelean Barnes
In this talk, Caelean and Evan Doyle will cover the common pitfalls of growing a large Python monolith and how to solve them. This includes: preventing and breaking cycles, setting boundaries, defining and enforcing interfaces, and modularizing code. We'll also cover the pros and cons of monolithic and microservices based approaches.
Caelean and Evan are the founders of Gauge, a YC-backed company building the toolkit for modularization. Our goal is to untangle your codebase in order to unlock developer velocity. We're also the authors behind Tach, an open-source Python tool to enforce dependencies using modular architecture. It's currently in use by NVIDIA, Posthog, Headway, and others.
🔎 Talk (~25 mins + Q&A)
Alumnium - open-source AI-powered test automation
Alex Rodionov
In this talk, Alex will review approaches to AI-powered test automation, from code generation to direct browser manipulation. We'll see how the solutions pass the "2+2=4" test for a simple online calculator. I will also demonstrate Alumnium, a new open source framework created specifically for QA engineers, showing its power and shortcomings.
Alex will go over the challenges of building an LLM-powered test automation tool (hallucinations, reasoning and performance issues, closed vs open models, different prompting techniques) and show how Alumnium overcomes them.
Alex is a Quality Architect and open source developer. Alex is a member of TLC at the Selenium project, maintaining Ruby bindings. Alex also created the Maccy clipboard manager.
