How I learned to stop worrying and love record and playback

Dave Haeffner, Software Developer, Applitools

Record and playback tools like Selenium IDE have a stigma attached to them in our industry – they’re not worth your time, they produce tests that are impossible to maintain, and they’re only for non-technical people. But with the new Selenium IDE, that’s all just a bad rap. In this talk Dave Haeffner will squash the stigma by showing you examples of how Selenium IDE can reliably augment and level-up your testing practice regardless of your team’s test automation maturity or your level of technical experience. He’ll also share how he went from a record-and-playback naysayer to a Selenium IDE maintainer.
