Talk Title: The New And Shiny ... Node.js Built-in Test Runner
Abstract: Jest, Mocha, Ava, and other Node test runners long dominated the unit testing.
Talk2

Talk Title: Playing your Tests Wright
Abstract: It's time to play your tests wright. Let's take a look at how to write good tests and cover some of the best practices for testing, choosing the right locators and more. Let's make testing easy and fun by generating tests on user actions. Then lets explore some cool tips and tricks to help you write better tests.
Talk3
Speaker: Andrew Knight
Talk Title: How Visual AI Makes Testing Easy
Abstract: Apps break. It’s what they do. Everyone has seen skewed layouts, missing buttons, and overlapping text. Those visual bugs are such a pain because traditional test automation usually can’t catch them. However, if we train AI to look for visual differences between app snapshots like human eyes, then we can add visual checks to our functional testing! Let's learn how to make sure apps look right and work right with Applitools. In this talk, I'll show you how to transform your tests with visual assertions, gaining more coverage with far fewer lines of code. I'll also show you how to do cross-browser testing in a fraction of the execution time by re-rendering them on target configurations. You'll see how a picture is truly worth a thousand test assertions.
