Is it really worth automating UI tests? In most of the cases, the cost of maintenance is much higher than the benefit they bring. However, it can still provide a lot of value, if kept to a minimum. In this talk I’ll explain what other kind of tests or techniques can be implemented to avoid doing that much UI testing. We will revisit the testing pyramid and explore how it can be adapted to context we now find in projects.

La ingeniería del caos es una joven disciplina centrada en la realización de experimentos controlados en sistemas en producción con el fin de mejorar su resiliencia.

Aunque ha existido desde mucho antes, fue en 2010 cuando empezó a tomar relevancia gracias al trabajo de Netflix con su ‘Chaos monkey’, desde entonces se ha evolucionado mucho y ha crecido alrededor una vibrante comunidad.

En esta charla veremos una introducción a los principios, prácticas y herramientas en torno a la ingeniería del caos.

In the past 5 years mobile apps have expanded to encapsulate almost every instance of our daily lives: we use them to communicate with loved ones, share secrets, and to them we reveal part of ourselves. They interact with almost every business transaction around the world, and with the rise of IOT they are even being connected to our homes and cars. And yet according to surveys only around 5-8% of the world population knows how mobile apps operate or work.

Users sometimes don't understand why apps are asking for permissions, or what their data we ask access for is used for.

In this talk we'll see how important it is to earn your users' trust in a time when we are all worried about privacy. We will be reviewing real life scenarios about information transparency, and how it can be achieved with small changes in design and code. Helping users understand how your app uses their data is good for everyone.
