Automation Face-Off

What do you think about when you hear the words "test automation"? Are you considering developing your own tools to help you probe the product deeply, or will you apply a commercial tool for automated checking? Are you excited by new, powerful, enabling technologies, or do you worry that a robot will replace you? One thing is for sure: when we apply tools, we fundamentally change the context and the nature of the work we do.

Our panelists are software testing experts who will discuss all this and more with you! Together, we'll probe what people mean by automation, the power that tools can bring to our testing, and the pitfalls that can add challenges for the whole team. We'll look at where, when, and how to apply tools to help us test and help the whole team deliver robust, carefully checked, and diligently tested products to our customers. Join this lively conversation about one of the most controversial topics in testing.
