<div class="">Next Wednesday, May 11th , we are fortunate to have Jay Luker present
<a href="http://w3.abcd.harvard.edu/ai1ec_event/automated-testing/" class="">Automated Browser Testing with Ghost Inspector</a>. </div>
<div class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">When Jay gave this talk at the Microsoft NERD center in February, 125+ people attended with over 40 people on the wait list.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Talk</b></div>
<div class="">Jay will be presenting an introduction to <a href="https://ghostinspector.com/" class="">
Ghost Inspector</a>, a cloud-based web UI testing service that takes some (some!) of the pain away from creating browser-based, web application tests. Think Selenium, but for projects that are short on the resources, infrastructure and/or coding expertise to
confidently develop and manage a suite of fully automated, “good-enough” UI tests.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Note: This talk probably does <b class="">NOT</b> apply to those in the following scenarios:</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="">
<li class="">Developers feeling underworked due to having too many resources</li><li class="">Teams that have finished 135 consecutive release cycles all resulting in perfect UX experiences and 100% error free code</li><li class="">Project managers experiencing stress from deciding how to best spend excessive budgets for staff, tools, and infrastructure</li><li class="">Members of product teams that include 3+ full time people dedicated to building test suites</li></ul>
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Bio</b></div>
<div class="">Jay is a Senior Software Engineer at <a href="http://www.dce.harvard.edu/" class="">Harvard DCE</a> where he works on back-end applications and software for analytics data collection, deployment automation, and integration testing for the Extension
School’s video processing and delivery system. Previously he has been an IT Specialist at the Smithsonian Astrophysics Data System, and a Software Developer at Ex Libris.</div>
