##Abstract
Testing webpages is the inglorious bastard of our time. After we tamed this beast called 'Unit testing' it is now time to shift our frontlines to another topic. This times its all about your UI. And no, were not going to penetrate our old enemy Selenium, no we're not fighting in the ruby-ish fields of Watir, no my friends, this time it's JavaScripts move to exterminate your bugs once and for all.
##Speaker Bio

He recently released DalekJS, a UI testing tool. From dalekjs.com: "have you ever heard the joke about the 6 javascript devs trying to change Java code, written by two "non programmers", no?, good, because it isn't funny at all […] So my dear reader, here we are now, introducing a new testing tool for your Webpages, one that hopefully makes you love testing"
