The Jetsons have traveled from the future to check on our progress towards an automated world!
This talk introduces the new features of Java 9 - 14 and provides examples of how these features can be used for test automation. Your test code no longer has to be as verbose as it once was, meaning less code to write and maintain!
Learn when and where to add visual assertions to your existing automation framework, how to work with various match levels including ones suitable for dynamic content, and how to evaluate and resolve visual test results.

Our world is changing. Artificial intelligence is being employed in just about all walks of life - from virtual assistants to self-driving cars. How does this new way of life impact software testing? What is our role...is there even one?
More and more teams are coming to the realization that automating every single test may not be the best approach. However, it's often difficult to determine which tests should be automated and which ones are not worth it. In this highly interactive session, together, we will explore features and associated tests then discuss whether the tests should be automated or not considering the factors and context provided.
In this session, we’ll stay away from all the fancy jargon, and instead look at a demonstration of machine learning in action. The demo will provide insight into the ‘magic’ of machine learning in a way that’s simple enough for a five-year-old to understand. Highlights include the basic fundamentals of machine learning and how it works as well vulnerabilities of machine learning that you can look for as a tester.
