GUI test automation is broken — because regression testing is not testing, but version control of the behaviour of the software.
Gradually, an insight is gaining ground in the testing world: Test automation without assertions works better! Whether Approvals Test, Jest (Facebook, Open Source) or recheck (retest, Open Source) - the number of tools that work according to the approach of Golden Master Testing / Characterization Testing / Approval Testing is constantly increasing. This approach promises more robust tests with less effort for creation and maintenance, while all the while testing much more completely. What this means, which different tools are available (mostly Open Source), and where the strengths and weaknesses of this approach lie, will be explained in this presentation.

Dr. Jeremias Rößler (Roessler, @roesslerj, he) has a PhD in Computer Science from Saarland University and more than 10 years of experience as a software developer and tester, He is the founder and CEO of @retest_en (https://retest.de), a German-based startup that brings AI to test automation. His refreshingly unusual approach to test automation (difference testing) has many advantages over conventional test automation and he will show you how to combine it with AI to overcome the oracle problem. He has been speaker at many international conferences, both in academia and industry, and attendees call his talks visionary and amusing. His talks are rated 4.28 out of five and ranked second best at conferences. He is a writer, blogger (https://dev.to/roesslerj/), developer & computer scientist. He is very approachable and enjoys to be talked to, so don’t be shy. You can contact him easiest on Twitter or LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/roesslerj/).
