Summary

Slido, a platform widely used for engaging participants in live and online events, has powered over 244,000 events and collected 7.1 million questions, serving prominent clients like Spotify, Lufthansa, and the BBC. To ensure seamless interactions and continuous innovation, Slido's QA team turned to Cypress for test automation, despite initially having no JavaScript experience. This transition enabled them to author over 600 end-to-end tests integrated into their CI processes, conduct visual regression testing, and even test outbound emails, with notifications via Slack. A webcast scheduled for August 7th will delve into Slido's team structure, their journey towards quality and test automation, and the lessons learned along the way, with a recording available for those unable to attend live.
