Test Coverage Update: State of Testing
Code coverage is useful to make sure every line of code with unit tests. But it has a few shortcomings and is mostly useless for end-to-end tests. What else can we do to target out end-to-end tests? In this presentation, I will touch on element coverage that seems to be useful when covering web application tests. In blog post form at https://www.cypress.io/blog/2018/12/20/element-coverage/

End-to-end testing is hard - but it doesn't have to be
Cypress.io is an open source free end-to-end test runner that runs your web application inside an iframe in a browser it can closely control. This architecture completely changes how your tests behave (hint: no flake), what you can test (pretty much everything), and why you write more e2e tests (because you love writing them). In this talk, I will give a very brief intro to Cypress itself but mostly will concentrate on how it changes the entire testing experience. Cypress users can test web applications by observing just the external behavior (DOM, network calls, storage) or can reach deep inside the application's code, and I will explain the trade-offs. Finally, I will discuss why Cypress tests do not use "async / await" keywords, and instead look like declarative reactive streams.

Semantic Release
Manually releasing new software versions is dangerous. You might forget to test it before releasing, or you might release a platform-specific version, instead of a general one. Moving the release to the CI and automating it is the key to the repeatable and robust release process. In this talk, I will show how to set up a completely automated yet robust release system with semantic versioning for JavaScript using NodeJS. Presented at VermontCodeCamp 2018.

JSON Schemas are your True Testing Friend
In our company we have a lot of data flowing from the user’s applications (and we are backwards compatible) to the API, then this data is displayed in the web dashboard. How do we avoid accidentally breaking API contracts, while adding new features? We have started using json-schema convention and wrote a few tools around it to lock down our API protocols. Now we have full confidence in our tests, and major refactoring and releases happen without hiccups. Bonus: our tests are realistic, elegant and easy to understand. Presented at Boston JS meetup.

Painless Testing for Modern Web Applications with Cypress.io
This presentation showcases Cypress.io - an open source, MIT-licensed end-to-end test runner that radically breaks with existing technologies (like Selenium, WebDriver) to be able to test _modern_ web applications. The main focus of Cypress is to give every developer a tool that helps rather than hinders the development process. Thus it has such features as GUI with time traveling debugger and DOM snapshots; headless run mode on CI with video recording by default; full browser DevTools to inspect the application's behavior; spying and stubbing of network calls; and many other advantages compared to existing solutions. Presented at Ministry of Testing Rio de Janeiro.

End to End Testing in the Future
Unit testing is hard and time consuming; and worse - the users and the customers do not care! They only want the features working in the production system, everything else is development overhead. If this is the case, how do we improve the web application quality? How do we catch the bugs early? How can we test the deployed system effectively? And finally, how do we get rid of Selenium? This presentation tries to answer many of these questions in a web framework agnostic way. Presented at WeAreDevs Congress 2018, video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p38bIMC-YOU

A Simple Node Checklist to Follow
Checklists have been known to reduce errors during air flights and surgeries. Why don't we use one for our JavaScript projects? I want my NPM module to be useful, robust, and well-documented. Here is my recipe for a module that everyone can rely on: a simple checklist. Rather than forcing everyone to do the same, the checklist only reminds me to do unit testing, publish smaller module, have good API examples, and lots of other useful things. ConFoo 2018

Think Inside The Box
It used to be hard to actually run code in production. I needed to rent a rack server from a company, login into the machine, set it up, then periodically deploy new application version. Deploying often meant overriding the existing running application, taking a server offline. Long, cumbersome, and error prone. No wonder we did deploys once a month! Luckily there are 4 things that recently revolutionized the way I deploy and run code: Docker, Dokku, Kubernetes and Zeit Now.

Practical Universal Apps in Functional JavaScript
Writing solid code is hard. Writing portable code that can run on the server and in the browser is harder. Writing readable code that is easy to modify and extend might be impossible. Let us try achieve all three goals by writing JavaScript in functional style. JS is no Haskell, but can mimic a traditional functional language pretty well, as I will show in this presentation. Plus everything in the world can run JavaScript, so FP in JS knowledge applies very widely. Presented at Øredev 2017 video at https://vimeo.com/242030169

Which JavaScript framework should I use next? - BuzzJS NYC 2016
Should I learn and use Angular 1, React, Angular 2, Ember or something else? What are the common features they all share? How are they different? Are there "better" frameworks that will be popular next year? I will show a couple of new approaches that should be part of any future-proof framework: reactive streams for managing the data flow, virtual DOM abstractions for speed, testability and performance tools built right into the framework. The presentation might be controversial, but the struggle to pick "the next best thing" is very real. Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji8hqDi2BnA

Explain with examples, without writing any
Humans learn best by example; good technical docs use lots of them. Yet all modern documentation tools (think jsdoc) making writing correct examples and maintaining them a chore. There is no tool support for syntax highlighting, or even guarantee that an example is correct or up to date. On the other hand, solid software projects have lots of well tested, up to date examples. We call them unit tests! In this presentation I will show how to take the unit tests and transform into syntax-agnostic human-friendly examples to be plugged into your docs.

Turn the performance knob to 11
Once your Angular application has the features you need, the next step is usually focused on improving its performance, such as the initial load time and responsiveness to user’s commands. The application has to execute quickly in order to be useful. Is the Angular framework fast or slow? I argue that it is very fast, but requires you to know how to measure and optimize the right bottlenecks.
