(e2e): win friends and influence people with e2e testing

[weizang-75]

Summary of talk

A business stakeholder comes over and asks for some software to be engineered.

"No worries," says I... "That's my job after all. What exactly do you want me to do?"

And that's where the problems start.

What they say and what you hear are different. Visa versa same. Simply put, we're talking different languages. Has anyone NOT seen this happen over and over?

You might very well wonder how e2e testing with Cucumber and Gherkin could possibly help that. Let me explain...

+1 Interested in this.

I'd also love to hear how you deal with e2e testing in a microservice arch from a CI perspective. but perhaps we can just chat about that after :)

Nice Chris, this looks awesome! Honestly, there aren't testing talks out there 😆

Would you be ok to come on to the June meetup (potentially alongside Pat 😮)

Early feedback is kind of in the same line as Pat above, what kind of stack scenarios are you covering? React apps come in all shapes, sizes, and data sources.
