Last year was dominated by the smart devices & voice based home assistants. These use the conversational interfaces unlike other applications to interact, built using advanced algorithms, ranging from natural language processing to AI/ML techniques. They are constantly learning by themselves improving the interactions with the user bringing up the challenge of non-deterministic output. To such interfaces, natural language is the input & we humans love having alternatives & love our synonyms, express using emojis gifs & pictures. Testing in this context moves to clouds of probabilities.

Unfortunately Selenium cannot be used to automate such systems and hence Botium was designed.
In this session I will cover the Selenium driver for Botium to automate E2E tests on Web UI and mobile along with testing strategy, testing NLP models & automating these tests to the CI/CD build pipelines with a DialogFlow based 'Coffee-Shop bot' as an example during my demo.

There are thousands ways if not more to setup your automation testing environment. It is often crucial when it comes to stability and maintainability. While you can build a custom framework that fits your needs there are often already sophisticated setups or frameworks available that get you up and running very quickly.

WebdriverIO is one of these frameworks that is written in Node.js. It gets you up and running within minutes and allows you to scale up your test suite while maintaining your execution time by running tests in parallel. With its huge project community it is an ideal choice for small as well as big projects that use modern frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue.js.

In this workshop you will learn everything you need to know to run a successful, stable and maintainable WebdriverIO framework. It starts with an introduction to the project and the basic concepts and will end with a sophisticated framework that includes testing strategies like Frontend Performance Testing as well as complex browser interaction with Puppeteer.

This talk will answer the questions "Will you be able to run your automation scripts without connecting the USB cable to your device in a limited range?"

If we have to ask ourselves where is the mobile and when is it required? So the answer would be its 'Everywhere'!!

It's next to possible to imagine a day without looking at mobile or using apps for that matter- Google, Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.

When it comes to using it so testing comes hand-in-hand with it. As we develop applications over a mobile device, be it any platform ios, Andriod and windows we shall also think about usability and end-to-end testing.

In this talk, we will discuss how Appium worked as a bridge between devices and controllers.
