We're considering organizing a test automation workshop for the Circumvention Technology Festival in Valencia this coming March. The idea behind the workshop would be for implementors to share tools and techniques to help projects get started with test automation at minimal cost. We're looking to gauge whether there's a strong interest in this amongst people who will be attending CTF. To that end, if you're planning to attend CTF, I'd be much obliged if you'd respond to the following questions:
1. Would you attend this workshop? 2. Is your goal to add automated testing to a project that doesn't currently have it, or to improve the automated testing that you're already doing? 3. If you don't currently do automated testing, is it because you perceive it as being too costly, you're not clear of the value, you don't know how to get started, or something else? If something else, what? 4. What is it that you're most interested in testing, user interface, back-end logic, or something else? If something else, what? 5. Are you interested in learning general techniques for designing automated tests, specific tools and technologies for testing, or both? 6. If you're already comfortable with your project's test automation, would you be interested in attending the workshop to share what you know?
