Speaker Profile: Pat Viafore (@patviaforever)
Pat is a Software Engineer at ADTRAN in Huntsville, Alabama. He’s game for coding up anything, and always happy to learn something new. Professionally, he has worked in a few different fields, from coding up lightning mapping/detection software to building up the architecture for fiber optic telecommunication networks.
At home, you can find him trying to build board game engines or automating what’s around him in Python. Automation has a special place in his heart (or maybe it’s actually a way to be lazier), and he always is working to try to make things awesome around him.
Pat will be presenting “BDD To the Bone: Using Behave and Selenium to Test-Drive Web Applications” at 2:00PM Sunday (2/5) in room 200. Have you ever felt that unit tests just weren’t enough? It feels like something always still goes wrong when your customers start to use your application. All your unit tests pass, so what’s going on? In this talk, we’re going to look how to use the behave library to explore behavior driven development as well as the selenium library to control your web application through a browser.
