About Test Automation Days
Test Automation Days is a unique conference focused on test automation. This year the main theme was: Test Automation in a Continuous World
In a world where everything needs to be continuous, has Test Automation also evolved into a continuous process: delivering software, testing, learning, creating value, etc. How do you adjust to a continuous world? How do you keep up and deal with continual change relative to Test Automation? Or do you think that “continuous” is nothing more than hype to put extra pressure on everything we do?
This year the conference was expended with an extra day. The conference started on June 19thwith an in-depth, hands-on masterclass day. This day was all about learning by doing. The masterclass day was sold out in advance.
The second day was filled with inspiring keynote speakers, and experienced practitioners to share their vision. There was plenty of room to share and expand your network.
