This month we'll be welcoming:

Gergő Kocsis - Automated product verification: A road to faster and safer releases

In web development, competition creates a necessity for innovation which means increasingly frequent updates and features alongside high quality. How can we -- mortals -- verify product integrity to a reliable standard in such a capricious environment? We can’t. Instead, we can rely on automated quality assurance to do the heavy lifting for us, guaranteeing to exceed a customer's expectations for performance, quality, and durability. In this talk, I will cover the benefits of QA automation using Cypress and Applitools Eyes.

Speaker #2: TBA

Post-meetup social
After the talks we'll head to socialise at the nearby Triple Point Brewery + Bar. They serve a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, plus food from Twisted Burger Co. See triplepointbrewing.co.uk for more details. One of our volunteers will show you the way.
