A perfect example is the ‘var’ keyword. We do not have to use it, but we should. In this presentation, I want to talk about some of the changes that have occurred in Java since version 8. These are the changes that should affect how we code in Java and how we teach Java.
Join me as we talk about new features of Java that should be sending older features to the coding retirement home. Bring your suggestions, too.”

Webinar: “The key to successful automation in testing”
Date: August 22
Start at: 19:30 — 20:30
It depends. That is the classic answer of a consultant to many questions. But when it comes to automation in testing (AiT, a.k.a. automated testing), what does success depend on? The answer is context.
Firstly, context will determine what should be the main goal for automation that everyone should know and strive for. Second, context is different everywhere in terms of organization, people, processes, test execution, and techniques, and it determines what will work.
Asking the right questions helps define a suitable vision for automation and the roadmap to achieving it.
Focus on the business value of automation (not just because it is cool, fun, or expected of you), not missing important parts of the strategy that limit value and success.
Theoretical knowledge that you will gain:
Overview of the good, business oriented goals for automation in testing
Overview of the field of automation in testing
Overview of the relevant questions to ask to come to a (team or corporate) automation vision and strategy
Practical skills that you will gain after the webinar:
Using the PUPPET model to create, check or update an automation strategy.
Who will be interested:
Anyone interested in effective automation in testing, whether from testing, automation, or business perspective. While experienced automators will recognize more topics, others will also benefit from a unique, clear overview of this field of expertise. And anyone can use the PUPPET model to check that all the important questions have been addressed.
