Keynote: Testing Modern Web Apps Like a Champion
summary
Built a small full‑stack Python app called Bulldog Reminders app that uses HTMX and TinyDB and it runs, and the talk shows concrete tests: unit tests with pytest, Django white‑box tests, API tests, contract testing with Pact, and UI automation via Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright (Python binding). Claim: Playwright benchmarks far faster than others; pytest alone is not enough; UI tests are slow unless run in CI (example GitHub Actions) and combine layers for fast feedback.
