Dave and I just got into Boston for the Ajax Experience.  We’re giving a talk on Ajax testing and debugging Friday at 3:45pm.

Here’s the brief from their site:

Building high-performance, robust Ajax applications is challenging at the best of times. But, without proper quality assurance and testing techniques, it can be treacherous.

Testing, QA and performance optimization is more important today than ever because of the large increase in Ajax user interfaces and the growing number of developers who have recently started using Ajax. Once Ajax developers have mastered using a popular framework they will need tools and techniques to ensure they are delivering a quality product into the marketplace. Properly tested and tuned Ajax applications will mean a reduced number of bugs, shorter QA cycles, faster websites and better user experiences.

In this session, Andre and Dave show you how to set-up a reliable test framework, methodology, and build process that automates much of the tedious, manual effort that comes with browser-based development.

This session will cover JavaScript unit testing, functional testing for your web application, automating the testing process, and debugging JavaScript and debugging server responses. Learn about testing and debugging with current tools such as FireBug, YSlow, JSUnit, Selenium and CruiseControl, as well as how to find memory leaks and increase performance with JavaScript optimizations. Andre and Dave will walk you through the debugging and testing tools available for Ajax developers, and how to use these tools to minimize bugs and build better Ajax applications.

In this session, you will learn:

• Testing tools and concepts for Ajax;
• Debugging techniques and tools;
• How to implement a solid QA strategy for your Ajax team.
