This Friday 19 August Oslo will see its first ever Selenium and Watir
meetup.
The meetup will be hosted by Opera at our headquarters and is open to
anyone
with interest in automated web application testing or browser automation!
ABOUT SELENIUM
Selenium automates browsers. What you do with that power is entirely up
to you.
Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but
is
certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks
can
(and should!) also be automated as well.
Selenium has the support of some of the largest browser vendors who have
taken
steps to make Selenium a native part of their browser. It is also the core
technology in countless other browser automation tools, APIs and
frameworks.
TALKS
Jari Bakken will give an introduction to what WebDriver and Watir is all
about,
and give you good arguments for why using these tools for testing the whole
stack is the way to go.
Kristian Rosenvold will give his talk “Test First Development of Web
Applications”,
a fun live-coding demo he gave at Smidig 2010.
SPEAKERS
Jari Bakken: As a core developer on both the Watir and Selenium projects,
and
the founder of related projects such as Celerity and watir-webdriver, Jari
has
extensive experience in the web test automation space. Since late 2009
his open
source efforts have been focused on Selenium 2/WebDriver, for which he
wrote and
maintains the official Ruby bindings. His watir-webdriver project, an
implementation of Watir's API on top of the WebDriver technology, marks an
important step forward in consolidating the Watir and Selenium projects on
the
best browser automation tech available.
By day Jari works as a test engineer for Norwegian classified ads site
FINN.no,
where he develops automation solutions and test infrastructure. By night,
he
enjoys hacking on Ruby tools and making use of his degree in jazz guitar.
Kristian Rosenvold: Agile pragmatic programmer in Java, javascript, C# &
Web-
technologies, git-nerd. Apache Maven committer, Selenium committer.
Works as a
