User group meeting

Last month we canceled and the month before that Austin Prohl stepped down as organizer of this meetup. Then Frank Anderson volunteered. This month we will be going over Automated Front-end Regression Testing.

Automated Front-end Regression Testing is the process of taking a screenshot of the way the site looks on production and then taking a screenshot of the way the site looks on test and then comparing the two. Automated Front-end regression testing adds this process to your CI. We will be looking at Wraith, phantomjs and casper.

I was planning on a shorter talk this time. I am a new organizer to PDX, my name is Frank Anderson. I just moved up from Southern California. We will be filling the rest of the meetup with general discussion Q&A.

This will be at a new location. On the East Side, over at Clarity Innovations.
1001 SE Water Avenue
Suite 400
Portland, Oregon 97214

There is some on-street parking nearby. Don't park in the building parking lot.

The front doors to the building are locked. We'll post someone at the door for a while, but it'll probably be best to arrive a little bit early! You can also try pinging me (@frobdfas) on Twitter if you get locked out and I will let you in. If you do, I will try and DM you back that someone is on the way. The elevators can be slow.
