As web applications grow increasingly complex, and the logic of those
applications is located on the client more often, the need for good
JavaScript testing tools is growing. There are some products available, but
the quality is usually not satisfactory: most tools are inflexible, messy,
hard to integrate, badly written or incomplete. HyperTest tries to solve
those issues.
HyperTest is...

To be able to automate GUI testing you first need to be able to
automate the GUI. The idea is to operate the GUI much as the user
would, and test that the software reacts as expected. Many GUI
automation tools require you to record details of the application
first - or require you to directly specify the control title to work
with. These can be very brittle in the face of software...

Doctests are one way of writing automated tests in Python. Doctests can be used for
many purposes. I will demonstrate (with examples) the use of doctests for
documentation, design, unit testing, and functional/acceptance testing.
I will show some interesting features of the doctest module such as pattern matching
or diffing. I will show how to collect and aggregate doctests...

for Zope 3 developers.
This book is written in several languages (French and English so far) and based
on agile documentation principles.
It uses Python doctests to provide participants the ability to write their

Morphological analysis is a powerful approach to generic problem solving.
Using this method you can reliably plan for the minimal amount of test cases
you should cover for your application. This talk will demonstrate how to apply
the methodology and how to manage test plans with a test planning software based
on morphological analysis.

and why this makes a special difference in an agile environment.
We will expose our working experience at Itaapy with these tools:
