[WebPub] [abcd-www] Next Week: Automated Browser Testing with Ghost Inspector

[Prasad, Raman M]

Hello MIT-WebPub,

Next Wednesday, May 11th , we are fortunate to have Jay Luker present Automated Browser Testing with Ghost Inspector<http://w3.abcd.harvard.edu/ai1ec_event/automated-testing/>.

When Jay gave this talk at the Microsoft NERD center in February, 125+ people attended with over 40 people on the wait list.

Talk
Jay will be presenting an introduction to Ghost Inspector<https://ghostinspector.com/>, 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.

Note:  This talk probably does NOT apply to those in the following scenarios:

  *   Developers feeling underworked due to having too many resources
  *   Teams that have finished 135 consecutive release cycles all resulting in perfect UX experiences and 100% error free code
  *   Project managers experiencing stress from deciding how to best spend excessive budgets for staff, tools, and infrastructure
  *   Members of product teams that include 3+ full time people dedicated to building test suites

Bio
Jay is a Senior Software Engineer at Harvard DCE<http://www.dce.harvard.edu/> 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.

Details

  *   When: Wednesday, May 11th, 3:30-5:00pm
  *   Title: Automated Browser Testing with Ghost Inspector<http://w3.abcd.harvard.edu/ai1ec_event/automated-testing/>
  *   Who: Jay Luker, Senior Software Engineer at Harvard DCE
  *   Where: Lamont Library, Forum Room

NOTE: Attendees without a Harvard ID card need to RSVP<mailto:raman_prasad at harvard.edu?subject=RSVP%20for%20May%2011th> for building access.

Thanks!


Raman and Donna
