Summary

Breakpoint 2021 is a two-day virtual summit focusing on software quality. David Burns, core contributor to Selenium, Chairperson for W3C Browser Testing and Tools Working Group, Editor of the W3C WebDriver specification, and Head of Open Source at BrowserStack, shares his journey as a core contributor to Selenium. He is also presenting a session on common problems people face with test automation during Breakpoint 2021. Burns has recently been working on a Rust-based tool for installing browsers on Selenium and finds being a core contributor to the Selenium Open Source Project more rewarding than writing books about Selenium testing tools. He recommends reading 'Accelerate' by Dr. Nicole Ferguson, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim for those interested in tech-focused resources. His advice for new testers is to take their time, understand the application they are testing, and use automation to eliminate wasted effort so they can focus on harder test problems.
