Quality Assurance Engineer of many years. I first started working in QA in 2008 in a small e-shop company and focused on website redaction system testing. That is also where I discovered Selenium.
In 2012 I moved to NCR Corporation and focused on mainly back-end functional and performance testing of cloud systems. Also working on some front-end testing powered by Selenium.
I also organized and frequently presented at QA lectures focused on performance testing, continuous deployment and building testing frameworks.
In 2015 I started working in Avast Software with focus on network security.

Selenium was born for web-application testing. But have you ever thought it could be a great tool for testing Windows desktop apps too?
Today, more and more desktop apps use a web-like approach to implement their UI. The methods vary from basic HTMLayout environment to complex designs in CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework). However traditional GUI automation tools seem to be a step behind or ignoring the trend completely. This situation calls for finding new ways of testing.
In our talk we shall introduce to you a new way of utilizing Selenium for automated testing of desktop applications. No matter whether the HTML UI content is completely offline or loaded and updated dynamically, Selenium is able to access and navigate it just like in a web page. We’ll also show you how to build a small framework around it and plug it into your Continuous Integration process. All of this will be demonstrated using a real-life instance of Avast Antivirus for Windows.
