Evolution of GTAC and Engineering Productivity
streda, júla 12, 2017
When Google first hosted GTAC in 2006, we didn’t know what to expect. We kicked off this conference with the intention to share our innovation in test automation, learn from others in the industry and connect with academia. Over the last decade we’ve had great participation and had the privilege to host GTAC in North America, Europe and Asia -- largely thanks to the many of you who spoke, participated and connected!
In the recent months, we’ve been taking a hard look at the discipline of Engineering Productivity as a logical next step in the evolution of test automation. In that same vein, we’re going to rethink what an Engineering Productivity focused conference should look like today. As we pivot, we will be extending these changes to GTAC and because we expect changes in theme, content and format, we are canceling the upcoming event scheduled in London this November. We’ll be bringing the event back in 2018 with a fresh outlook and strategy.
While we know this may be disappointing for many of the folks who were looking forward to GTAC, we’re excited to come back with a new format which will serve this conference well in today’s environment.
GTAC has become the beacon in the test industry. We would love to see Google's next step of evolving test automation and engineering productivity.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťLooking forward to the next blog post.
Looking forward to the next GTAC, wish it back soon!
OdpovedaťOdstrániťWish I can make a speech in 2018 ~
OdpovedaťOdstrániť"Testing and automation" is a separate discipline from "Engineering Productivity". Going from first one to another may be personal evolution for individuals in their career development. I am really missing articles about testing itself in this "google testing blog". Just in 2017 there was headless Chrome and puppeteer releases, webdriver become W3C standard - none of these news were even mentioned here. Testing as discipline will not just disappear, it's processes and tools evolve and I was hoping to get information about how they evolve from this blog or GTAC.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťWhat a pity. I really wang to get more information about testing industry,and engineering productivity is NOT the way TESTING should go.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťAre you planning to have this event in 2018? In that case, will it be in Europe or EEUU? Thanks!
OdpovedaťOdstrániťNo dates or locations to report at this time. We are actively working with industry partners on what we can take to the next level here. Stay tuned and we will keep folks posted as plans come together.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťAny news on dates?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťNot yet, we're working it!
OdpovedaťOdstrániťAny update? I'm waiting from last year and it seems no news till now.
Odstrániť1 year after the original message and still no date :(
OdpovedaťOdstrániťAny updates? I'll have to make a decision before end of July if there is no 2018 GTAC.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťAny updates on the next GTAC?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťWill GTAC return in 2018?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťHi Manisha,
OdstrániťThe evolution of GTAC will return in 2019, with expanded scope. We're working on the event details and announcement, stay tuned here for more details.
Jens
Ah~~~~ Another year waiting starts, hope it can be hold at the early of 2019.
OdstrániťCrossing fingers for a 2019 update. Will dates be announced on this blog?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťIs there a mailing list I can get on to be appraised on when GTAC 2019 would happen?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťYes, we will announce it here.

OdstrániťHi everyone =)
OdpovedaťOdstrániťIs really cool to know GTAC is coming back this year. Hoping the announcement be really soon.
Hello, Jens Pillgram-Larsen. Any news on the dates of GTAC in 2019? How to register?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťSorry to retract my earlier statement, and to disappoint :-(
OdpovedaťOdstrániťWe are still evaluating our plans around an external conference or event, and right now do not have plans to host this event in 2019. It's not for a lack of interest or desire, but it's proving more difficult than originally thought.
Hi there! Any plans about GTAC 2020?
OdstrániťVery sad to hear it. Good luck with the event in the future, it was a great experience when I attended in previous years.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťWould love to attend GTAC in 2020!
OdpovedaťOdstrániťThus far only viewed google recordings and found them tremendously useful. You guys have a down to earth take on automation in testing, talked about real challenges and how you came about in resolving them.
Where would I be able to get a hold of these recordings?
OdstrániťHey! You can find the archive at https://developers.google.com/google-test-automation-conference
OdstrániťIs there any plans about this conference in 2020?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťHi! So, We are in 2020. Is this conference coming back this year?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťHi, is there any plan about this conference in 2020?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťI also very interested on attending the GTAC in 2020 if there will be one. thanks.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťIt's been years since there was a GTAC and I really wanted to go the year it was cancelled - any idea whether this conference will return in 2020 or is it just a pipe dream at this point?
OdpovedaťOdstrániťAn online only conference for 2021 maybe?
