Park & Ride – The road to tests
Sanja Batkovic, Lead Software Engineer at HERE Technologies
Testing products where the baseline is known are almost not challenging. But what to do when you need to test a product where no baseline exists yet? How to test a product that no one else made before? How to compare and measure the quality of the test results in that situation? Sometimes testing against the expected behavior is not the right solution. In this talk I will show ideas how to approach this challenge.

But They Worked Locally … How To Fix Flaky Tests On The Real Device Cloud
Daniel Paulus, Senior Software Engineer at Sauce Labs
The most challenging aspect of running tests on a real device cloud is the multitude of possible failures. It could be that the test is inherently flaky, because writing reliable UI tests is hard. It could be that the app actually has a bug. It is possible that there is an unreliable device on the cloud or on very rare occasions, you could have discovered a bug in the real device platform. What you will see is that your tests always passed on your local device(s) but suddenly fail on the cloud.
