Step Ahead Tech & Perfecto: Takeaways from the STEM Workshop

On July 18th, Thomas Haver, Perfecto champion from M&T Bank, volunteered at Step Ahead Tech, a charity focused on STEM education for children of refugees. Along with Automation Senior Software Engineer Rodney Gates, they led a group of kids between the ages of 12-17 through a STEM workshop on automated testing using Perfecto Scriptless Mobile. 

The event was a success. The results showed that if scriptless test automation can be learned in a one-day STEM workshop, the adoption of this testing will be just as easy for anyone in a professional organization.  

Below we will explore some highlights and takeaways of the STEM workshop as well as take a closer look at the benefits of Perfecto Scriptless Mobile. 

About the Step Ahead Tech & Perfecto STEM Workshop

Around two dozen kids were in attendance for the STEM workshop with Step Ahead Tech. The workshop began with Thomas Haver and Rodney Gates showing the group how to perform manual testing using a simple example. Next, they taught the group how to perform scriptless testing using Perfecto Scritpless Mobile. Perfecto provided a demo cloud that allowed the kids access to Perfecto Scriptless Mobile for the day. Thomas Haver and Rodney Gates led them through the process of app installation (taking recommendations from the kids of which apps to use), testing on the platform, and finally, the creation of a scriptless automated test. 

The session concluded with each group of kids building their own automation script for their favorite apps using a few simple demos.

Key takeaway: If children can be introduced to the Scriptless platform and successfully script for themselves within a few hours, anyone at any organization can do the same!
