By the end you will see why Nx and Cypress are the peanut butter and jelly of your developer toolbox.
Component Testing With Cypress
Cypress released it's public beta back in October of 2017. Not long after, it became the undisputed heavy weight champion of the automated testing world. It made end to end and integration testing actually effective, fast and fun! It had just one problem....Components. Thankfully with Cypress's 10.0 release of Component Testing, that problem no longer exists! In this talk, you will learn how to get started with Cypress CT and some best practices to start writing component tests in your applications

Automated Testing All The Things with Cypress
Think automated testing is hard? It's not, it's easy, and you're going to see why! In this talk, you will learn real-life examples of how to write automated tests using Cypress. By the end, you'll walk away a little less scared and a lot more prepared with some best practices you can apply immediately to your own applications.
Reading Her/His Mind Has Never Been Easier
Imagine a world where quantifying our thoughts and emotions was possible. Now imagine building applications that used those very same thoughts and emotions. What if I told you this was not only possible today, but that you didn't have to be a brain surgeon to do it. In this talk, you will learn how easy it is to build an application that reads your thoughts using the open-source Neurosity SDK.
How To Write “No-Code” Automated Tests
Writing automated tests in Cypress is a breeze, but what if you don’t know how to code? In this talk, you will learn how to use the Google Chrome Recorder to record user sessions and then how to convert them into Cypress tests without writing a single line of code. By the end, you'll walk away with everything you need to begin creating your own “no-code” Cypress tests in your own applications.
Migrating From Protractor To Cypress E2E Testing
Deprecation! It’s a word we typically hate to hear as engineers. But with the news of Protractor’s deprecation coming at the end of 2022, migrating to Cypress can become something you actually love! In this talk you will learn how easy it is to take your existing applications using Protractor for end-to-end testing and migrate them to Cypress. Along the way you will learn the core concepts needed for success with Cypress.
Multi-Domain (origin) Testing in Cypress
For as amazing as Cypress is for writing end-to-end tests, it has had a very long standing "issue" around visiting multiple origins in a single spec. Thankfully Cypress resolved this issue in it's 9.6.0 release, which adds support for cy.origin. In this talk, we take a deep dive into how to use cy.origin to solve this problem in the real world.
End-to-End, Component and API Testing with Cypress
In a world where continuous deployment has become the norm, testing is no longer an option but a necessity. Even the smallest of changes can have major impact on our software. In this workshop I will show you how to test your applications the way your users actually use it. We will take a deep dive into how to do End-to-End (E2E) testing. We will then learn how to test your individual components in isolation using Component Testing and finally learn how to test your API’s with API Testing. By the end you will be equipped with everything you need to write automated tests for your entire tech stack using Cypress.
Testing Your Components is as Simple as Pie!
In this talk we will learn the complexities of software by baking a pie in Javascript! We will learn the tradeoffs we need to make along the way and the ramifications they have on testing. Come hungry, as this is one piece of pie you won’t want to miss.
Building Scalable Applications with Nx
Building scalable applications has never been more important in our ever changing technical world. From building, testing and linting to the management of dependencies and code reuse, this is no easy feat. Thankfully, Nx has made these things both simple and fun! In this talk, I will show you how easy it is to build and refactor scalable applications with Nx.
Refactoring Made Easy with Component Testing
Refactoring is an inevitable and often times crucial part of the development lifecycle. During refactoring, we rely heavily on automated tests to make sure our refactored code doesn't introduce regression into our applications. As our implementation changes and our tests begin to fail, it can become difficult to know which tests are accurately failing and which tests just need rewritten. In this talk I will show you how writing Component Tests with Cypress makes refactoring your components both easier and more reliable.
Getting Started With Angular
The first version of Angular (version 2) launched back in May of 2016. Now 12 major releases later, the framework has evolved and become arguably the framework of choice for enterprise application development. In this talk, we will explore what makes Angular different from other Javascript frameworks and why you should consider it for your next project.
Stoping Mocking That!
If you’ve ever written an automated test you’ve most likely spent most of that time setting up said test. This has always been the cost of doing business for automated tests. But what if I told you you didn’t have to do that anymore.
In this talk, I will show you how you can test your app’s components, services, API and entire app (end to end) without mocking a single thing!
Modern Angular Testing
Angular has released several incredibly powerful new features and improvements over the past several releases including Standalone Components, Deferred Views and a new Control Flow. As a result we are having to re-think the way we build our Angular applications. But what does this mean for testing?
In this talk I will show you what the testing use case looks like in the Modern Angular World and how you can create even more valuable tests as a result.
AI and the Future of Testing
Chat GPT, Bard, Bing, CoPilot; the list goes on. The age of AI is officially here! Artificial intelligence may sound scary to some but at isn't simplest form Artificial Intelligence just combines computer science and very large datasets, to help solve problems. In this talk, I will show you what AI may mean for the future of automated testing and whether or not it's coming for our jobs!
Make Sure You Do This Before Switching To Signals
This time last year Standalone Component's were the talk of the Angular town. This year it's Signals!
