Monthly Meeting - How Yahoo! Embraced Automated Testing

At one point, the Yahoo! Mail team was hung up with testing infrastructure problems – a common problem for organizations in the business of writing user-facing code and not maintaining test infrastructure. The team maintained a grid of VMs, making it harder to run thousands of tests in parallel. In addition to constantly maintaining test infrastructure, another challenge was adding templates for new OS web browsers. This took considerable time, requiring assembly OS images and the security team to approve those images and hardware such as VMs. In order to keep up with the competition, the Yahoo! Mail team realized it had to adopt to the latest, modern application testing technology – automated testing – to increase its software release frequency and quality.

Join Neil Manvar, professional services lead at Sauce Labs and former software engineer at Yahoo! for this session on Yahoo!’s previous web application testing challenges and how they were solved. You’ll learn strategies on building faster and higher quality apps and solutions designed to dramatically reduce time and energy spent worrying about infrastructure. By embracing automation testing, learn how Yahoo! has been able to stay connected with users in this rapid, ‘mobile-first’ era – a challenge many organizations today face.
