automated tests can be a nightmare to manage. Data must be prepped in
advance, loaded before testing, and cleaned up afterwards. Sometimes,
teams don't have much control over the data in their systems under
test—it's just dropped in, and it can change arbitrarily. Hard-coding
values into tests that reference system tests can make the tests
brittle, especially when running tests in different environments. In
this talk, I'll teach strategies for managing each type of test data:
test case variations, test control inputs, config metadata, and product
state. We will cover how to "discover" test data instead of hard-coding
it, how to pass inputs into automation (including secrets like
passwords), and how to manage data in the system. After this talk, you
will wake up from the nightmare and handle test data cleanly and
efficiently like a pro!<br><br>Bootstrapping your Local Python Environment<br>By: Calvin Hendryx-Parker<br>You
cracked open your brand new Mac or Linux dream machine and low and
behold, it has Python out-of-the-box and ready to roll… Or so you think?
Maybe you want to get started doing Python development on Windows and
see that you can grab Python easily from the Microsoft Store. Should
you? Let’s talk about getting started with the end in mind and making
sure your development computer doesn’t become the next superfund site <a class="gmail-link" href="https://xkcd.com/1987/" title="https://xkcd.com/1987/." target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc">https://xkcd.com/1987/.</a>
We’ll quickly go through a tour of the various options such as pyenv,
venv, virtualenv, conda and Docker as great ways to make sure you can
develop in a sane environment.</div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><div id="gmail-m_5444079136715901713gmail-m_-8476255028174978200gmail-m_4145310139499113507m_2955297528778350791gmail-m_-7379278565020924124gmail-m_8970767749216854392m_720262029458474455gmail-:1nl" style="font-size:0.875rem;direction:ltr;margin:8px 0px 0px;padding:0px"><div id="gmail-m_5444079136715901713gmail-m_-8476255028174978200gmail-m_4145310139499113507m_2955297528778350791gmail-m_-7379278565020924124gmail-m_8970767749216854392m_720262029458474455gmail-:1nm" style="overflow:hidden;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:small;line-height:1.5;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div style="font-size:12.8px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Please be aware of and abide by our code of conduct <a href="http://www.chipy.org/pages/conduct/" target="_blank">http://www.<span class="gmail-il">chipy</span>.org/pages/conduct/</a></div></div><font color="#888888"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div></font>Engage with <span class="gmail-il">ChiPy</span><font color="#888888"><div style="font-size:12.8px">Website: <a href="https://www.chipy.org/" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" target="_blank">https://www.<span class="gmail-il">chipy</span>.org/</a><br>Slack: <a href="https://joinchipyslack.herokuapp.com/" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" target="_blank">https://joinchipyslack.herokuapp.com/</a><br>Meetup: <a href="https://www.meetup.com/_ChiPy_/" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" target="_blank">https://www.meetup.com/_ChiPy_/</a><br>Github: <a href="https://github.com/chicagopython/chipy.org" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" target="_blank">https://github.com/chicagopython/<span class="gmail-il">chipy</span>.org</a><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/chicagopython" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/chicagopython</a><br>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT372EAC1orBOSUd2fsA8WA" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT372EAC1orBOSUd2fsA8WA</a></div></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
