PRESENTATION: “The Best Investment I’ve Ever Made: Automated Browser Testing with Selenium (and PHPUnit)” by Joshua Silver
As a small startup faced with the challenge of delivering a secure, scalable, cross-browser payments platform with virtually no QA resources, Joshua and his team at Patientco (http://www.patientco.com/) turned to Selenium and PHPUnit to fully automate their end-to-end browser based testing. During the presentation, Joshua will introduce Selenium/PHPUnit, demonstrate how easy it is to get started, highlight lessons learned over the past 5 years of using Selenium commercially, and discuss the latest tools/trends from the Selenium community. Whether you’re leading a large team in a Fortune 500 company or are just a single freelance developer, Selenium is a surefire way to improve your QA and testing process with minimal investment.
