by Michael Klepikov and Lesley Katzen on behalf of the GTAC Committee GTAC (Google Test Automation Conference) was held on November 10-11 at the Google Cambridge office, the “Hub” of innovation. The conference was completely packed with presenters and attendees from all over the world, from industry and academia, discussing advances in test automation and the test engineering computer science field, bringing with them a huge diversity of experiences. Speakers from numerous companies and universities (Applitools, Automattic, Bitbar, Georgia Tech, Google, Indian Institute of Science, Intel, LinkedIn, Lockheed Martin, MIT, Nest, Netflix, OptoFidelity, Splunk, Supersonic, Twitter, Uber, University of Waterloo) spoke on a variety of interesting and cutting edge test automation topics.
Video Recordings and Presentations pages. All videos have professionally transcribed closed captions, and the YouTube descriptions have the slides links. Enjoy and share!
Our 82 survey respondents were mostly (81%) test focused professionals with a wide range of 1 to 40 years of experience.
Another 76% of respondents rated the conference as a whole as above average, with marked satisfaction for the venue, the food (those Diwali treats!), and the breadth and coverage of the talks themselves.

It looks like I need an account to get access to the slides and videos?
ReplyDeleteHi Michael, no you should not need an account for access to slides and videos. Which link are you having problems with? Perhaps we need to adjust the permissions.
DeleteI just double checked that the videos and the slides work in a fresh incognito window, i.e. should be accessible without an account.
DeleteI was having problems with the "Video Recordings" and "Presentations" links. Now it appears as if they're working! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAll presentation slides links are not accessible.. Shows as resource unavailable... https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ZbtToNrkpG6jLZBXbuUXVFzHilrr6_ZTFFAFdgpl4FQ/pub
