Codeless AI Test Automation Makes Me Code A Lot

Modern AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and Cursor promise easy test automation; just prompt the assistant to write a test, and watch it work. I found the day-to-day experience much different. In this talk, I will show how to collect relevant context for each prompt, how to evaluate AI results, and how to guide the AI to code better end-to-end tests.

Cypress And Playwright Web Testing Workshop

We are truly living in the golden age of web testing automation. There are lots of good tools, and this presentation tries to show two of the most powerful tools available today that are both open source, run fast, allow quick debugging, and can do a lot. I am talking about Cypress and Playwright of course. Both tools are capable of great things, but their architectures are very different, and thus they can shine when solving different problems. By coding up solutions to the test exercises you can get a sense of what it takes to write full end-to-end, component, and even API tests. Everyone looking to test their modern web app would benefit from this hands-on workshop.
