In the ever-evolving world of software testing and development, it's easy to get swept up in the allure of shiny, new tools and technologies. But what if I told you that some of the most effective solutions have been around for decades? Join me in this talk as we dive into the enduring value of timeless testing tools.
In "Old Tools, New Tricks," we'll explore how venerable tools like Selenium, GNU Make, Maven, and Bash continue to be essential assets in the modern software development and testing toolkit. I will give examples of how these tools solved our problems, demonstrate their adaptability, versatility, and reliability and try to prove that sometimes the “old” ways are the best ways.
This session is designed to show that it's worth digging deeper into familiar tools. This way, you can stock up your toolbox and make better decisions on how to solve test problems more effectively. Let’s rediscover the power of the classics!
Key takeaways:- Reduce knowledge gaps and make informed decisions by combining classic and new testing tools
- Inspire people to look more into the technology they already know
- See how time-tested tools can lead to better efficiency, less errors and better quality
