Hi all,

Open Mastery Austin meetup is TODAY at lunch, I'll be ordering food in ~1hr, so if you'd like to join us please update your RSVP before then so I know how many tacos to order. :)

Topic: "Alarm Pain" - Experiences with painful vs effective test automation.

First, I'll do a brief overview during the first 5-min to describe the format of the discussion, and the new vocabulary we'll be using in the discussion from Idea Flow (leanpub.com/ideaflow) to discuss our experiences with "Alarm Pain".

Next, we'll brainstorm key lessons learned stories with test maintenance from our personal experience, either a painful experience or a contrasting effective one.

We'll focus on one story at a time and dig into the details with questions, trying to figure out what were the major factors that caused the pain (or lack of pain), then share our conclusions at the end, and look for patterns across experiences.

After the meetup, we'll carry the discussion over to Open Mastery Slack, and continue discussion, identifying patterns, and capturing key lessons learned as short stories with #hashtagged patterns.

Our goal is to get really good at distilling, codifying, and sharing our knowledge as a community, and turn each meetup into the awesomest learning experience imaginable.
