Kickstart Cypress or Playwright Testing with Automated Testing Kit

Starting an automated testing program can take a lot of work:
• you need to learn the new tool
• you have to write the tests
• you have to write helper functions to speed up writing tests
• you need to learn about topics such as flakiness and the art of targeting elements
• you need to learn how to kick off tests across multiple systems, such as with GitHub Actions and other CI/CD systems.

It can be a lot, especially for a team that is new to testing. There must be a way to make this process easier and now there is: install Automated Testing Kit. Automated Testing Kit provides two dozen essential tests that you didn't have to write, helper functions that speed up writing new tests and additional functionality you always wished you had, such as pre-flight checks and hooks that make targeting selectors easier.

Recently, Stanford Neuroscience and the University of California Office of the President implemented Automated Testing Kit. One chose Cypress for its tests and the other chose Playwright.

Come to this session to learn how you can kickstart your testing program, why each organization chose a different tool for their team and why improving site quality is vital to site usability, reputation—and your peace of mind.
