The talk’s titled “The Future of Web App Testing and How to Stop It”. The first part was a brief history of the Selenium project. In the second part, I talked [...]

The event will be at the Google campus in Mountain View, California. Most of the core Selenium development team will be in attendance, traveling from as far away as Tokyo and London. Here’s a blurb about it from the sign-up page :

Jan 24 to Nov 9 is (rounding up) 10 months, not 11.]

Well, since last I posted… (~10 months!) I’ve been pretty busy. I started at Google eight months ago on March 5th, and so far it’s been great.

In April, I finally got to meet-up with several members of the core Selenium [...]

Huggins http://www.jrandolph.com/blog/2007/01/24/feeling-lucky-from-thoughtworker-to-noogler/ Well, I’ve had six wonderful years in the land of Thinking and Working (aka “The Martin Fowler Company“). Today, however, is my last day at ThoughtWorks. I’ll be packing up my home in Chicago and joining Google in Mountain View starting in February. My official title there will be “Software QA Engineer“, which is ironic, because no serious software tester goes [...]

In short, I’m working to make Selenium tests Turing complete. Right now, the Selenium Core engine can parse simple command/key-word tests. No looping or conditional logic is provided, natively, out of the box in Selenium Core without using a user extension, like flowControl. Not that it’s a [...]

I just got an email from Allen Hutchison at Google that my presentation proposal has been selected for Google’s London Test Automation Conference.

Here’s a short excerpt from my proposal:

In my talk, I would explore the use of Selenium in a fully integrated “web testing appliance” setup. With Selenium, some clever Python scripting, [...]

I just discovered today that Selenium, the nifty web testing tool, now has its own page on Wikipedia. Okay, since anyone can edit Wikipedia, that’s not much of an accomplishment. But I promise I didn’t make the edit myself. I am amused, though, that Selenium (the software) is relevant enough now to warrant a [...]
