Ever had that: after a simple change, suddenly 50+ tests are failing! Brittle tests that hinge on GUI specifics and result in the dreaded NoSuchElementException are a main headache when testing with Selenium.

The open source project recheck offers a simple and elegant solution. Not only is a virtual identifier unaffected by UI changes, you can define it for otherwise hard to specify elements, i.e. that would require complex xpath or CSS selector expressions. And on top of that, tests are easier to create and maintain and yet much more complete in what they check. This talk gives a practical introduction to the underlying approach and the tool, complete with a life coding session.

Golden Master based testing enables fast creation of tests, simple update of
the standardized format using tool support, more complete checking
(including detection of unexpected changes) and tests are much less
brittle—because in case of breaking changes, the Golden Master can server
as a reference for comparison.
recheck-web brings that power to Selenium. In this hands-on workshop you
will install all necessary tools, create your first test and run it both locally and
on a CI server (Travis), ignore volatile differences, introduce real-life changes
(including otherwise breaking changes) and maintain the tests using recheck
cli.

Software is eating the world, and AI is eating Software. It´s creeping into our everyday lives and we depend on it more than ever. The more important to make sure it works as expected.

What is AI? How do you test AI systems? And how can AI be of help to a tester and QA manager? These questions are now answered in a Syllabus that you can get a certification for.

If you want to know more about the Syllabus and some of ist highlights, you should come to this talk.
