Hello all.

Could you help in my latest fundraising efforts? Any donation or share is greatly appreciated!

I'll be cycling and hiking for the wonderful @MovemberUK this year (all in the same week!)

All donations doubled by @systemseed

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

Any #Drupal folks working on a Starshot recipe for #Charities? I'd like to chat about adding some capacity from our team at @systemseed

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

I’m over on Bluesky these days if people are migrating away from Xitter

Someone in the room mentions Google Analytics still being useful for performance

Pavel’s doing a great job explaining everything from performance to accessibility. In terms of tools, he recommends GTMetrix and Site Improve

[Dima 🇺🇦 @DivDev_]

@AFDIT what tools are you using for visual testing ? :D I am building one and excited to talk about current limitations and future of VRT!

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

@DivDev_ We use Percy in Browserstack. Great tool I can wholly recommend https://t.co/VKLaFKzGWL

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

Great to see our CTO @systemseed Ev on stage talking about our automated updates in #Drupal #drupalcon

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

So here’s your checklist

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

(Join our BOF tomorrow on automated testing @9:15 called automated acceptance testing) #drupalcon

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

“But we don’t know how to do automated tests” . These days it is easy and fun for devs

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

“But we don’t have the budgets”. It doesn’t cost more, it costs the same or less

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

“Last but not least” is deployment automation

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

2. Automated Testing (as used with Concern Worldwide)

[Anthony Fox-Davies @AFDIT]

So hosting is important…
