The Test Automation Bazaar is hosted by Bret Pettichord, Zeljko Filipin and the Austin Homebrew Testers and pulls together developers and testers interested in using open-source testing tools. It focusses on understanding what approaches are actually working for teams today.

We invite people to come, share their experiences with test automation and learn from others. The organizers have a bias for Ruby, Webdriver (Watir/Selenium), and open-source tools, but we invite people to share what has worked for them. The theme of the event is “show us your tests”.

What makes the Test Automation Bazaar different is the unique Open Space format: attendees don't sit in rows listening to presentations. Instead they openly discuss the topics that matter to them, with other experienced practitioners, both local and visiting.
