About the talk
We often don’t do a good enough job at manual testing and testing automation in our projects to obtain the results we seek. This is when contemporary exploratory testing comes in, where developers can put learning in the center. In this talk, we will demonstrate with an application to see what happens when we combine testing done and automation created.
This talk will cover
An interactive demo using Python and Playwright as tools to illustrate the following:
- “The Automationist’s Gambit” - making sacrifices to win more later in exploratory testing
- How to do more than regression testing with automation
- How attended vs. unattended testing is a better framework for resultful testing
