When creating software our aim is to provide reliable products that satisfy customers’ needs. The first step to assure quality is to use unit tests. However, not everything can be tested by solely using unit tests, especially in web applications. This is when automated GUI tests come to help us! This talk focusses on the importance of Selenium tests in a Continuous Integration process and explains their crucial role as the final step to assure the product's quality before releasing it. Furthermore you will hear about what aspects to notice during the integration of tests to your processes, what kind of problems to expect, and how to handle them.

Nice introduction. But I had the impression that they didn't really find solutions for the challenges and that things can be done (partialy) better

I would have loved to see an example of the integration of Selenium into Hudson/Jenkins.
The presentation gave a good overview on testing with selenium.

It seemed that this could be done after few days research on google. Too many facts about the company was both boring and useless, ie. the time of testing depends on server configuration, tests, servers used, browser used etc. You could have provided some charts to show these dependencies and not some numbers about your company without any context about configuration.
I lacked expertise on the subject, too.
