Our February meeting will kick off with a panel discussion from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, followed by some announcements and the main presentation. Refreshments will be provided and there is no cost to attend, although we appreciate RSVPs to plan for refreshments.

Presentation Abstract

Overview of Selenium, what it does, what it doesn't do
How to get started with Selenium IDE, RC, and Grid
Why I started Sauce Labs (Selenium as a Cloud Service)
Selenium in 2010... Selenium 2
Future trends: Adobe Flex, mobile (iphone/ipad, android), HTML5 (canvas, video)
Best practices for succeeding with Selenium.

Speaker

Jason Huggins co-founded Sauce Labs and currently leads product direction. Prior to Sauce Labs, Jason was a Test Engineer at Google where he supported the grid-scale "Selenium Farm" for testing Google applications such as Gmail and Google Docs. Jason's experience also includes time at ThoughtWorks in Chicago as a software developer. While at ThoughtWorks, Jason created the Selenium testing framework out of the need to cross-browser test a new in-house time and expense system.

When not programming in Python or JavaScript, Jason enjoys hacking on Arduino-based electronics projects. Jason has spent time in New York City, LA, and the Bay Area, but Chicago is his kind of town.
