Full-stack web app testing with Selenium and Rails

Brian Takita and Alex Chaffee gave a presentation at the SDForum Silicon Valley Ruby Conference over the weekend, entitled Full-stack web app testing with Selenium and Rails. We're going to do it again at Agile 2007 (and we'll have an extra half-hour next time, so we'll have time to do some interactive pairing with some unsuspecting audience member).

The Challenge of Agile Design

I just gave a talk at the Web 2.0 Expo with Leslie Chicoine of Satisfaction. We shared our insights into the challenge of integrating foundational design methods (interaction design, usability design, interface design, interaction design) into a team doing Agile development (rapid releases, week-long iterations, high feedback and communication). It was a lot of fun! The room was packed, the energy was high, and they laughed at our jokes!

Here are the slides:
