Hey everyone!
I'm Angie Jones - a Senior Developer Advocate who specializes in test automation strategies and techniques. I share my wealth of knowledge by speaking and teaching at software conferences all over the world, writing tutorials and technical articles on angiejones.tech, and leading the online learning platform, Test Automation University.
As a Master Inventor, I'm known for my innovative and out-of-the-box thinking style which has resulted in more than 25 patented inventions in the US and China. In my spare time, I volunteer with Black Girls Code to teach coding workshops to young girls in an effort to attract more women and minorities to tech.
Let's talk about:
and more!
I will start answering your questions live on Friday, 15th May, 06:00 PM GMT.
Thank you Angie Jones for sharing your knowledge. Good to hear that, Black Girls Code to teach coding workshops to young girls. I am much interested in QA Testing. This tutorial was very informative and good.
Lets learn & grow together
Hi Angie Jones What is the best way to do automation testing on multiple language web application?

Hey!! I am a new grad, and I am slowly getting in to the software industry. What are some domains in the software industry that needs serious development, and at the same time, if developed properly would impact the lives of millions?
Hi Angie,
Iβm an automation developer working primarily with Ruby, Cucumber, and Selenium. I really enjoy test automation and Iβm wondering what you would recommend learning for automated mobile testing and why?
Also, what are your favorite tools to work with in testing?
Btw I really enjoy your tech articles.
Thanks again!
Hello, Angie.
I'm a beginner in software development, currently learning HTML and CSS.
What skills would you advice I learn that would be relevant this period and would get me job opportunities too.
Thank you.
1 - Do you conduct paid mock interviews for testers/QA ? It would be nice to have a platform like career cup (mock interviews) and leet code (with testing problems) for QAs :)
2 - How can one practice testing without a job & maybe showcase testing skills ? i.e. like newbie front end devs make N websites in N days to showcase their skills.
3 - What is the bare minimum data structures & algorithms automation engineers might need on their jobs ?
How to keep your self motivated with among the growing tech developer competition, (imposter syndrome) also how to pick a path in the industry domain that will be having a promising path post-COVID

How is Applitools solving the visual testing automation problem as opposed to platforms using snapshot testing like Selenium Webdriver, Cypress, or WebdriverIO?
Is Applitools cost-effective for small projects?
BGC is great! What's next? Any plans for this year?
You're an advocate for automated visual testing Angie and I see that this new approach, as opposed to manual testing, automates the process of detecting and reviewing visual UI changes with visual evidence that our application looks and behaves as we intend it too.
Why do you think I should consider this approach and how do you think the developer ecosystem is embracing it.
In general, how can I get started and what resources can you recommend, please?
Why are junior developers considered a burden in their first year in any organization?
What are the few things a programmer should analyze before starting to code? Especially when they have an opportunity to build a project from scratch.

Angie, nice to meet you! π What, according to you, are the best programming languages to learn in 2020?
What significant difficulties have you faced on your way in tech? How did you manage or overcome them?
Hi Angie, what motivated you to speak publicly? When was your first stage appearance and how did it go?
Hi Angie, is there a demand for Java in 2020? If yes, are these demand related to newer projects or legacy projects like in corporates? Should a beginner developer learn Java in 2020?
Hi Angie, thanks for this AMA.
Your innovative and out-of-the-box thinking style has resulted in more than 25 patented inventions in the US and China. I've heard the word "patent" several times but only have a blurred understanding of it and I'm sure some others do also. What does patent inventions actually mean?
Also, how did you go about getting a patent?
Lastly, what inspired all 25 patents you got?
