Testing Today's Web Applications: Tools You Can Use

If you are a software tester today, chances are you're testing a website or web application. Whether you are testing in a browser, within a web “wrapper” framework like Electron, or even in a web app wrapped in a mobile application, your customers are using web apps and websites constantly—and they want them to work well. Our challenge in testing, of course, is to test as thoroughly and efficiently as we can, given our time and resource constraints. Chris Kenst will demonstrate some of his favorite free and inexpensive tools for testing web apps and share stories of using these tools in the trenches. Bring a laptop and a website, and he will walk you through using built-in web debuggers, static analysis tools for web pages, performance and security testing tools, Docker, Postman, Cypress, and whatever else we can fit into this action-packed and entertaining tutorial.

Note: Participants are strongly encouraged to bring a Windows or Mac computer to this tutorial.
