[Justin Morris]

Hey!

Thanks for the opportunity to speak last night, I had fun! Hope it was useful, or at least somewhat entertaining. :)

I’ve thrown the slide-deck up on Speakerdeck if people are interested: https://speakerdeck.com/justinmorris/ui-regression-testing-for-fun-and-profit

Cheers,

Justin

Excellent talk. Actually all the talks are. Whoever chooses them does a damn fine job.

There's so much more to consider of course (and I'm sure you are doing just that). You're testing the look but not the feel (if I can describe it that way). How does a site respond when you interact with it? Dynamics, responsiveness. Notionally this could be like having reference videos rather than just screen grabs. Not that I'm suggesting you actually work out how to diff videos.

[Doug English]

Hi All,

My two-cents-worth...

these both looked like high-quality presentations, would've loved to have seen them live.

[Matt Allen]

Mark;

Doug’s Colour Modelling one would have been right up your alley. It was one of those “AH HA!” moments for a lot of people in the audience, I think.

Anyone lucky enough to be starting a green fields app should at least take a look over the slides. You’ll probably think a bit differently and save making that rod for you own back down the track.
