Keynote: Testing Modern Web Apps Like a Champion with Andrew Knight

Testing Automation

"Learn how to test modern web apps like a champion with Andrew Knight, covering key topics such as building fast feedback loops, using open-source tools, and automating testing and deployment with CI/CD."

Key takeaways
  • Focus on building fast feedback loops, not just building tests.
  • Use open-source tools like Playwright, Selenium, and Cypress for testing.
  • Playwright is a fast and efficient browser automation tool.
