Test Automation: Evaluating a convergent approach for web and native apps

Within Skyscanner we have been investigating how we could move from a dual automation approach (two different technology stacks, two different engineering technology skill sets, one which is focussed on native apps, one which is focussed on web) towards a convergent tooling stack and approach.

This presentation would include a demonstration of a prototype framework running across real devices and genymotion emulation for mobile and a direct comparison of code constructs across Mobile and Web implementations.

Presenter: Andrew Fowler, Senior Engineer, Test and Release Engineering.

Nima Montazeri on Transport Network Route Finding Using A Time Dependant Graph

Nima will share his experiences of building a route finding application for Manchester's Metrolink system (www.tramchester.co.uk) using open data (GTFS) and graph database technology (Neo4j). He will touch on the data he had to work with, the modelling process (successes and failures), and the importance of time in the model.
