Playwright Can Do This?
Guaranteeing that your application doesn't break while constantly shipping new features is tough. Obviously, with a continually growing app or site, you can't test everything manually all the time!
Test automation and monitoring are crucial to avoiding shipping broken apps and sites. But what functionality should you test? When should you run your tests? And aren't complex test suites super slow?
In this session, we'll get our hands on Playwright, the end-to-end testing framework, and learn how to automate headless browsers to ensure that you confidently ship new features.

The Lazy Developer Guide: How to Automate Code Updates?
How to update hundreds of projects all at once? With organizations rapidly growing, demand for the scalability of the teams grows which directly impacts projects structure and ownership. The usual dilemma is mono- vs. multi-repos, but ... What if I tell you that it does not matter much? Both approaches can punch you in the face at some point, so perhaps it is better to think bottom-up.
Today I will walk you through some of the biggest challenges that exist in both approaches and those are managing dependencies across a few hundred projects, global code updates and many other things. I will also show you examples of how we solved this inside Infobip through building our own internal libraries.

It's a (Testing) Trap! - Common Testing Pitfalls and How to Solve Them
It’s a trap” - a call or feeling we all might be familiar with, not only when it comes to Star Wars. It’s signalizing a sudden moment of noticing imminent danger. This situation is an excellent allegory for an unpleasant realization in testing. Imagine having the best intentions when it comes to testing but still ending up with tests failing to deliver you any value at all? Tests who are feeling like a pain to deal with?
When writing frontend tests, there are lots of pitfalls on the way. In sum, they can lead to lousy maintainability, slow execution time, and - in the worst-case - tests you cannot trust. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this session, I will talk about developers’ common mistakes (including mine), at least from my experience. And, of course, on how to avoid them. Testing doesn’t need to be painful, after all.

Test Time Execution! Why it Can't be Ignored?
For modern agile teams, release velocity is very critical. Unfortunately, one of the biggest bottlenecks for faster release velocity is testing times. Even after teams implement end-to-end test automation, long testing times significantly delay the pipelines. This delay means developers get feedback of their efforts very late, which can snowball, affecting the shipping velocity. Hence test execution time becomes one of the most critical KPIs for any business that wants to ship features faster than the approaching deadlines. LambdaTest helps modern dev teams release faster executing tests faster on a scalable, reliable test cloud.

Go Find What We May Have Missed!
Coming into software with an exploratory testing mindset is like coming to a multi-layer canvas with lots of information and an open ended task: find what we may have missed! This is the assignment for us all in software teams in our quest for quality.
Framing the search of how our system falls short of expectations is easier when we are able to see software from its user’s perspective. However, useful tests aren’t a collection of end-to-end tests we automate, but great tests to leave behind will decompose the testing problem differently. In this talk, we learn about using architecture as a filter in decomposing tests and look at an example of taking control over the API responses to test a React frontend.
Users don’t know or care if the problem is in the frontend and services your team provided if it fails to meet their expectations but you care. Granularity of feedback matters. Recognizing the same problems in incomplete scope - half-done features or only in frontend or APIs - is a skillset the software industry needs to be building.

I See What is Going on: Visual Testing for Your Components
Many modern web frameworks use components as their building blocks.
In this talk, I will show component testing using Cypress - and I mean "show" literally. You will see the component running inside a real browser, you will interact with the component like a real user, and you can debug the component using the real browser's DevTools. Finally, I will go through the current open source and commercial options for visually testing the component's styles and rendering.

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up your Test Warnings
Even though we write tests for our web applications, the reality is that bugs still happen. Fortunately, many of these are easily preventable paying more attention to the warnings from our apps. However, it's often so easy to put them under the rug and never come back until we find a bug in production, which leads to hundreds if now thousands of warnings appearing in our test output. This talk is about how to prevent this situation and how to get out of it.

Get Testing out of your Tech Debt
Technical debt and testing have a long and entangled history. Across many organizations, teams struggle to define “technical debt” and what should fall into the “tech debt” bucket. Testing commonly suffers the fate of being categorized as tech debt, and consequently isn’t prioritized. Defining tech debt, and even rebranding it, can help your team to prioritize testing and reduce the negative stigma around tech debt.

It’s not about your Assertion Library
I’ll be the first to admit: writing tests? Not all that much fun! And that’s coming from somebody who maintains a test runner in their spare time.
Once you have some tests though, you can have confidence. And once you have confidence, you can make changes. And changes are what’s needed to build awesome products.
So let’s not talk about API details, let’s talk about getting testing done. About being better engineers. About building awesome products.
