Google Tech Talk October 21, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Professor Niklaus Wirth at the 4th Annual Google Test Automation Conference, October 21st, 22nd, 2009, Zurich, CH The activity of testing is as old as programming. We recall the early days of programming, the techniques available at the time, and the introduction of tools for testing and – mainly – debugging. Then we try to compare the old techniques with the modern state of the art, and to critically assess the progress achieved. Bio …

GTAC 2009 – Automated Performance Test Data Collection and R
Google Tech Talk October 22, 2009 ABSTRACT Automated Performance Test Data Collection and Reporting. Presented by David Burns and David Henderson, smartfocus DIGITAL, at the 4th Annual Google Test Automation Conference, October 21st, 22nd, 2009, Zurich, CH Web applications are growing in size and complexity with every new release. The addition of slightly more javascript and HTML can lead to the site becoming sluggish without an obvious cause. Fortunately more organizations are taking note of the correlation between site speed and profitability. Without suitable tools, developers are left stabbing in the dark to resolve performance issues until the application feels faster. Luckily there are many tools available, such as yslow, that can help you through the process of measuring the performance of your application. However gathering this data manually can be time consuming, laborious and prone to human inconsistencies. To illustrate the need for better performance information, we will outline the state of performance testing within the development cycle as carried out by many development teams around the world. We will then discuss the requirements for the system that has been created and implemented as a result of our research and development. The data gathering infrastructure, the tools used to create it and the scope of the data that is collected will be shown with solutions to problems encountered along the way. Performance statistics of a page, kept in a database <b>…</b>

GTAC 2009 – Selenium: to 2.0 and Beyond!
Google Tech Talk October 22, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Simon Stewart, Google & Jason Huggins, Sauce Labs, at the 4th Annual Google Test Automation Conference, October 21st, 22nd, 2009, Zurich, CH As astute attendees of previous gtacs have observed, there's a lot in common between Selenium and webdriver. They're both fantastic tools for automated testing of web apps, but they do their thing in radically different ways. As keen followers of the projects, you may have heard of the plan to merge these projects. What does this mean? And, perhaps more importantly, why should you care? We'll explain how Selenium and webdriver work, then look to the future and explain what Selenium 2.0 will be. We'll tell you what we plan to do, how we plan to do it. We'll do this by taking a Selenium1.0 script and migrate it into the future of 2.0. Wish us luck! Bios: Simon Stewart lives in London and works as a Software Engineer in Test at Google. Simon has previously worked at thoughtworks, specialising in Agile and Test Driven Development. His Open Source contributions now largely centre on webdriver, the browser automation project now in the process of merging into Selenium, which he is the technical lead for. It has been said before that Simon enjoys writing better software and beer, sometimes at the same time. This is still true. Jason Huggins cofounded and leads product direction at Sauce Labs, which offers cloud-based commercial support for Selenium. Before saucelabs, as a Test Engineer <b>…</b>
