  • 20:10 - 20:50 APIs for Browser Automation (Selenium, Cypress, Puppeteer, or Playwright)

    Greetings from Platinum Sponsor and the Boni's presentation: Browser automation is a software technique that allows automated execution of user actions on a web browser, such as navigating between web pages and interacting with forms. This technique is mainly used for automated testing, although other usages are possible (such as web scraping or automating repetitive tasks). Selenium has been the preferred Application Programming Interface (API) for browser automation for many years. However, alternative tools such as Cypress, Puppeteer, or Playwright have recently emerged. This talk compares these four open source tools based on their architecture and main features. Additionally, it will provide some insights into their popularity trends.

  • 20:50 - 21:00 Finding Your Voice - How to stop worrying and give the talk

    Sophie's introduction before 99 seconds : When I was a little rookie software tester, barely half a year into my career, I attended my first testing conference and caught the public speaking bug. I admired the speakers and dreamed of one day also speaking on the same stages. The only problem was that I was absolutely and utterly terrified. What would I even speak about? Would anybody want to listen to my ramblings? And why would I - a shy introvert - even want to do that to myself? But I got over my fears and now I speak at conferences regularly. Do the questions I asked myself sound familiar to you? Do you consider submitting to a conference but don't know where to start? Do you need a little push in the right direction? Then let me tell you about my journey, from clicking the first submit button to my first keynote. I will share how it all happened, which stages where the most fun, and the story of how I absolutely lost my nerve on one for a minute and how that was the best thing that could have happened! Plus, I'll share what I learned along the way, give you a few hints and pointers for becoming a speaker yourself, and tell you why you should absolutely consider giving conference speaking a try. Maybe we'll share a stage one day!

  • 21:00 - 21:15 99 Second Talks

    A 99 second talk is exactly what it says on the tin. The speaker gets to speak about whatever they want for 99 seconds. It doesn't even have to be about testing. The only catch is you have to stop at 99 seconds and you only get 1 go per event. This is an excellent introduction to public speaking. You only have to speak for a short amount of time, which is less intimidating than a full 45 minute talk.

  • 21:15 - 12:30 Closing Event / Party
