An Illustrated History of Failure, Paul Fenwick
-----------------------------------------------
The average individual is given little scope for failure, at least not the
type that really matters. The opportunity for catastrophic failure, that
influences nations or continents, has been traditionally reserved for
royalty, parliament, and others in a position of great leadership.
However in recent times we have developed a profession who have the
opportunity to fail like never before. A profession that can make mistakes
that are so monumental, so wide-reaching, and so costly they can shake
civilization to its very core. This elite group, rarely seen by every day
society, are the foundation upon which modern society depends. The few, the
proud, the System Administrators.
Join us for a voyage of discovery, as we travel back through history to some
of the most monumental failures the world has ever seen.
Introduction to Selenium, Simon Hildebrandt
-------------------------------------------
Selenium is an open source test automation tool for testing web applications.
It runs tests directly in a browser - just like your users do! It can use IE,
Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, Linux and Macintosh. With the Firefox plugin
creating tests is as easy and clicking and selecting text. However these
tests can be compiled into a format that works with Java, .NET, Perl, Python
and Ruby!
Simon will give a whirl-wind tour of Selenium and how much easier it can make
your web applications testing.
Please invite your friends, family and colleagues along to attend!
All the very best,
Jacinta
