"Building Testing Tools in the Open" takes attendees on a comprehensive journey through the lifecycle of creating a successful open-source e2e testing framework. Beginning with the rationale behind choosing an open-source model, the talk will address the philosophical and practical benefits, as well as the common insecurities associated with building in the open.
The session will cover the dynamic challenges of maintaining such a framework in a rapidly evolving landscape. We'll discuss strategies for staying ahead of technological changes and community expectations, emphasising the importance of continuous improvement and user feedback.
Driving downloads and user adoption is another critical area of discussion. The talk will offer practical tips on making the framework discoverable, including marketing strategies and community engagement. Additionally, we'll explore methods for educating users, from comprehensive documentation to interactive tutorials and community support channels.
By sharing real-world experiences and practical advice, Peter aims to equip attendees with the knowledge needed to sustain and grow their open-source initiatives.
