Our lineup of speakers: Speaker - Stephen Fluin Speaker - Hans Larsen Speaker - Eric Simons Speaker - Gil Tayar Is Cypress better than Selenium WebDriver? I get asked this a lot. And frankly, the easiest path of a “this vs that” talk is to try and find out which is “best”. But I will not take that path. Instead, I will try and explain how is Cypress different from Selenium WebDriver. Speaker - Keen Yee Liau Please RSVP at https://www.meetup.com/modernweb/events/257967875/ Hope to see you there!
Topic - State of Angular
Topic - Schematics - A Gentle Introduction
Description - Schematics are a powerful way to scaffold and refactor code and projects, and is used extensively by the Angular CLI. Learn about what Schematics are and how you can create your own.
Topic - PWA-powered DevTools are coming
Description: The modern web is evolving at a rapid clip. With the advent of desktop PWA's, enhanced offline capabilities and new FS API's, the web platform is finally capable of running full dev environments.
Topic - # Cypress vs Selenium WebDriver: Better, or just different?
Description - There’s a new claim to the throne of functional test automation tools: Cypress.io. Is Cypress fast? Yes. Is Cypress interactive? Yep. Is Cypress reliable? You bet. And best of all… it’s cool!
But is Cypress an alternative to Selenium WebDriver? Does Selenium, the current king of web automation and testing frameworks, cringe in fear for its position, or is it smiling benevolently at the supposed usurper, knowing full well that, well, it’s just a kid!
During this talk, we will learn how to write Cypress test, how it’s used, and why it’s different from Selenium WebDriver.
Topic - Angular, Bazel, and CLI
Description - Learn how to use Angular CLI to create a new Angular project that builds with Bazel. Understand how the new workflow is different under the hood, and why it’s better. There’ll be a short demo.
