The Human Factor of Testing
What does a crash in your app mean if it just happens to one person? Not a lot, usually! But what does it mean if that app is their only way to communicate with the outside world? Or--what does even a minor defect in your app mean when it’s supposed to be safeguarding the health of your community? It can degrade your user's trust and make them less likely to use your app. There are many defects that are easy to categorize as low priority but how does the context of the app change your reaction to defects? This is the human factor of testing—the way that our users and their use cases...
Automation Using Geb/Spock/Groovy and a Geb Page Object Generator
PreviewSuze will go over the general introduction to the Geb/Spock/Groovy Automation solution as a layer of abstraction over Selenium/JUnit4/Java. She will also teach the technique and advantages of Page Object Modeling where she will demonstrate a simple Geb Page Object and the associated test that runs against the google.com web search pages.

She will discuss the advantage this gives that allow you to accelerate your...
Can Mobile Accessibility Testing be Automated via AI?
Did you know that 20% of federal ADA & 508 lawsuits now mention violations in mobile apps? There’s legal precedence now on maintaining compliance across all digital properties.

We will cover the WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 standards. Discuss whether you should target Level A, Level AA, or Level...

PreviewThe Page Object Pattern is widely known and used amongst Test Automation Engineers. It allows engineers to model the application for their tests, reusing certain elements, making the test solution more structured and hence decreasing maintenance cost and the learning curve of test automation. Working at large fintech and other companies, Peter got to realize: for some, Page Object is not intuitive. From a tester's point of view it could be improved. Moreover, it breaks the Single Responsibility principle, which has been one of its most criticized flaw. That's why the Flow Model...
