Many testing teams today use Selenium for their automation needs, and rightfully so: Selenium allows for cross-browser and mobile support, it’s free, and it has a large open source community behind it. Regardless of its feature set, Selenium—and test automation in general—has its own list of pain points that can have a large impact on testing metrics, depending on the test architecture used and the design patterns being followed. To address these pain points, a team can use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) via open source libraries. This enables the tests to...

Testing Your Way to Innovation: The Story of a Robotic Bartender

Wednesday, October 7, 2020 - 2:15pm to 3:15pm

The challenge was simple: Build a voice-powered mixologist capable of making drinks based on whichever spirits and mixers were placed into it. Working with his team, Mark Gharibian designed an AWS-powered, Alexa-driven, Arduino/Raspberry Pi-running, laser-cut bartender prototype. Using an iterative approach, they designed and developed the hardware and software in tandem. Each iteration taught them something new and changed the way they approached testing in the innovation space. They operated in a nontraditional way, on a nontraditional project, using nontraditional tools—and how they got...
