The future of the work environment (CZ)

Management has struggled with the work setup since the Covid cases decreased. Many companies push people to return to the offices or try the hybrid setup. Is there a good solution to it all? What the future work environment look like? How to build relationships and company culture? Let's take a look at it from a different perspective - the generational difference. What the generation entering the job market is going to need and how to work with them. How to build an inclusive work environment that lasts and provides effectiveness and satisfaction in upcoming years. The last but not least - how to prepare management for the digikids - the future employees who don't know an offline world.

Will AI replace human testers? (EN)

With the current AI and ChatGPT hype, many testers ask - is AI going to take our jobs? The talk aims to explain how AI actually works in test automation, what is possible, what might be possible in the near future or 10-year horizon, and where humans are simply not replaceable by the nature of the problem. So, no worries, AI is not taking your jobs, at least when we care about real reliability and safety. But after the talk, you may perhaps better understand what AI can replace and why.

DevRel @ Replay.io

The road from hell called end-to-end tests (EN)

The entire testing community has agreed that end-to-end tests need to be written sparingly. But even those few tests can make serious wrinkles on the forehead. Like Dante's Inferno, end-to-end tests have their 9 circles, in which thousands of testers around the world suffer daily.
In each circle there is a different kind of suffering. Whether it is constant work with selectors, abstraction or reproducing bugs, anyone who has worked on end to end tests knows them well. While going through tester hell, we also stop at integration into CI systems, unstable tests and data management. But let's take a closer look at the sins we commit against ourselves, such as trying to automate everything, black-box testing, or the constant battle between testers and developers.
However, our journey will not be just an excursion into tester suffering. From each circle, we will go together for the beacon of hope and tell each other how to escape from the hell called end-to-end tests. We'll look at how to keep end-to-end tests healthy, how to debug them effectively, and how to effectively create collaboration between the tester and development team.

16:20 - 17:00

Michal Drajna
