Lead QA Consultant, Notbinary
Not the cricketer! I am a QA consultant currently working with Notbinary, an International speaker, conference organiser and facilitator. In my spare time I enjoy teaching children to code as a CodeClub volunteer as well as spending time with my wife, 5 children, 3 chickens and dog.
This session looks at common issues with just relying on end to end automation testing tools, using examples to demonstrate common pitfalls and how visual testing can help add another tool to your tool belt.
The talk looks at why we automate tests, the issue with just manually testing, common end to end automation pitfalls, a brief introduction to visual testing and finally a look at common issues with visual testing and ways to overcome them.
Through the use of interactive examples the audience will gain an understanding of why relying on just manual testing can become an issue and how too much automation has a negative impact by looking at testing anti-patterns. The audience will also learn what visual testing is, what tools are available, some of the common pitfalls of using visual testings as well as tips on ways to overcome them based on experience of creating a custom visual test framework at my previous employer.

Jonathon combines his extensive practical experience and leadership with insights into real-world applications of the core principles underpinning Enterprise Digital (AI, ML and IoT). Thus, he is frequently in demand as a speaker at international conferences such as TEDx, Gartner, Oracle, Unicom, STAREast and STARWest. Jonathon is also the author of several award-winning books.
In the digital reality, technology is no longer just the enabler and it is what it is to be human, the ability to continuously learn and evolve. The approaches and techniques that worked yesterday, may no longer be the optimum approach for the future. Historically, human processes have been based on linear, sequential activities highly suitable to be replaced by digital engineering practices such as Intelligent Automation (IA), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL). However, robots are no longer mimicking human behaviours, but far surpassing our greatest expectations, traditional hardware and software are now becoming independent self-aware intelligent entities. Organisations are investing in adopting cognitive services, these intelligent algorithms to understand and interpret your business needs through natural languages are help drive omni-channel delivery that are extremely responsive to customer sentiment. Blurring the boundaries with Virtual Personal Assistants (VPA) and Enterprise Bots adoption becoming ever more prevalent and resilient in the face of unpredictable failure modes, whilst still being able to process huge amounts of unstructured data, embarking onto this third wave of artificial intelligence and the art of cognitive thinking.
ADP UK
Director of DevOps, ADP UK
Keith has 30 years experience of leading software development, DevOps and operations teams. In his previous role. He led a project in Ordnance Survey which has helped transform the way environments are provisioned using a combination of culture change, DevOps, open source tools and changes to business processes. This project dramatically improved the efficiency and effectiveness of the provisioning service and was shortlisted for the Real IT Awards in 2016. Keith is now Director of DevOps for ADP UK for the iHCM product to promote continuous delivery and DevOps principles, patterns and tools within the development and operations teams. He has also spoken at various DevOps conferences and user groups.
Many organisations have been changing the architecture of their products to break down monolithic applications into smaller componentised features such as micro-services. To support this approach, they are also adopting DevOps patterns and tools which automate the integration, testing and delivery of these new components. The increased frequency of deployments of these new services means that many test teams are having to reexamine their test strategies to adapt to the increased throughput of features as well as develop new skills to perform automated testing. In addition, it does not make business sense to change all business applications to micro-services so test teams still need integration environments where both fast moving components as well as slower moving monolithic applications are deployed. Using examples from real life projects, this presentation discusses how testing strategies need to adapt to the adoption of DevOps and the move towards continuous delivery.
busuu
Automation Tech Lead, busuu
With 9 years of experience as an Automation engineer and coming from a software development background, I am now a Tech Lead in Automation at busuu. Having graduated in Computer Science, I originally started my career as a developer but quickly discovered a deep passion for automation. When I am not testing then I run Marathons. I have worked my way up from mentoring, supporting and training members of the team to leading and building that team around me. I am very active in speaking throughout the London tech scene too, speaking at meetups, conferences, conducting workshops about testing regularly, and being an organiser of the London tech leads meetup and mailing list. I like working with discovering tools that make manual and automation easier to integrate into deployment. I am keen to help breakdown technical subjects and jargon for testers and expand their arsenal of test techniques.
In a business where technology is involved, APIs are critical to the application functioning and thorough API test suites are a simpler and more convenient way to run through a series of checks before putting the product on live. In my company (busuu), we have android, iOS and webapp and one backend to support all the platforms so itโs very important for us do all the API checks before going live. Itโs not easy to perform backend checks in an hour or so manually and that too when we release 4-5 times a day. So we needed the best possible approach in order to cut down the manual work and also to avoid human errors when testing APIs manually. By automating APIs we can test a wider range of test cases in very little time. But the biggest challenge for us was creating the json schema. Each platform requires different properties in the json schema and testing only the responses coming from backend is not enough. So I have used the tool called codeception in order to overcome this issue.

Expedia Group
Principal Software Engineer in Test, Expedia Group
Ragavan Ambighananthan is working in Expedia Group for the past 8+ years and now as Principal Software Engineer in Test. He has been working in test automation space for the past 17 years. His role is to look out for suitable new technologies and create tools to increase the productivity of engineers. In 2015, he presented โDistributed Automationโ, in Selenium Conference in Oregon, US and Selenium Camp in Kiev in 2016 and 2019. He is going to present, Selenium Grid based on Kubernetes, Docker, Traefik and Helm, which suits the use cases of next generation of things.
Cloud and the emergence of micro-services pose two challenges, besides cloud cost optimization, to the Selenium Grid based Distributed Automation solution for concurrent execution of UI automation.
First one is, in the world micro-services, teams wants to run their UI automated tests against the deployment of every Git branch (as part of validating a Pull Request before it is merged)
Speed will be an important factor in the pre-merge pipeline as described above. Using pure EC2 instance to scale Selenium Grid nodes is no longer feasible.
Kubernetes/Docker based solution is the best so multiple hub/nodes sets can be created, used and destroyed using Helm.
The second challenge posed by the Cloud is, multiple accounts.
Every company starts moving to Cloud with just one AWS account. But at a later stage, companies move into multiple accounts. With multiple accounts, accessing resources using private IP address becomes an issue.
This provides different problem like accessing hub using private IP address across different AWS accounts.
The solution to the second problem posed by Cloud is, Traefik with Kubernetes, Docker and Helm, which can help us reach the hubs within the Kubernetes cluster with a domain name for each hub like https://da-4eb769b.hub.test.expedia.com/grid/console
This talk is about why and how Distributed Automation based on Selenium Grid is implemented using Kubernetes and Traefik
