t's not a bug, it's a feature!" and other excuses from developers
Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2025 8:58 am
"This is not a bug, but a feature", "This is not for me", "But it doesn't reproduce for me" - sounds familiar, right? As a tester, I can choose how and what to test, and then - how to tell the developers about what I found. They, of course, will not miss the opportunity to say that these are not bugs, but features - and quickly close the bug reports. Let's figure out why this happens from the point of view of modern neurophysiology and what we, as testers, can do to ensure that bugs are fixed, and developers do not see us as enemies.
Natalya Yakhina, DataArt
I am talking about ETL systems. What is it? Where are they used? You will get acquainted with approaches to testing ETL systems, learn secrets and life hacks for increasing the efficiency of tests. The report will be useful both for those who already work with such applications and for those who have never heard of them and would like to expand their horizons.
Dmitry Khashchinin, Neoflex
I will talk about testing automation, share my experience of working on a project without manual testing, and also talk about the PLAT-ON library, which allows you to quickly and easily start developing automated tests.
Sergey Ruzin, Quantori
My talk is about a framework for BDD automation. We will consider its advantages, examples using Specflow, argument transformation, and how its implementation allows you to get rid of static Page Objects and makes life easier when testing.
About MetaConf
Frontend meetup is held as part of the chinese overseas asia database Meta/Conf series of events . We once decided that cool events for developers should be held not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Therefore, we decided to "change the meta" and, since 2019, we have been holding IT meetups in Voronezh. 2020 spurred us on even more and we moved online.
If you want to support our meetups and become partners, or you are ready to share your experience and you have a topic for an interesting report, then write to [email protected] .
