You can find more information on the speaker's site:


The WebDriver protocol provides a standard interface to automatically control Web browsers.

This talk will assess several approaches to Web integration testing with Perl and describe the situations in which they work well and their limitations.

The talk will then describe the speaker's recent experience using WebDriver on two recent projects to develop an automated test suite alongside a rapidly developed code base.

To get the most out of this talk, attendees will benefit from experience of Perl, HTTP and HTML.
