Headless UI Testing & Agentic CI @ Dawn Technology

The next Android meetup is here. This time we will be meeting at Dawn Technology in Hilversum. We have two interesting talks planned for the evening and a great chance to network and hang out with our fellow colleagues in a relaxed environment after work. Additionally, there will be some swag distributed at the event as well. So you don't wanna miss this one! ;) *** Agenda: 17:30: Doors open, food & drinks 18:20: DutchAUG introduction 18:25: Dawn Technology introduction 18:30: Iulia Stana: Take Your UI Unit Tests to the Next Level 19:15: Short break 19:30: Ievgen Umanets: Nightwatch AI Safeguarding Releases 20:00: Networking & Drinks 21:00: Closing *** Iulia Stana, Android Developer @ Dawn Technology Take Your UI Unit Tests to the Next Level Testing Compose UI often sacrifices speed for fidelity. This session introduces a "headless-first" strategy, moving UI verification from emulators to the JVM. We'll explore a production-grade framework built with Screen Robots and a custom BDD-style Kotlin DSL. Slow feedback loops stall development. Shifting UI testing to the JVM provides PR feedback in seconds. A BDD DSL turns tests into living documentation shared by developers, QA, and product owners. *** Ievgen Umanets, Senior Software Engineer @ Albert Heijn Nightwatch AI Safeguarding Releases Routing issues across a 400+ module codebase often takes time. This talk explores the journey of integrating AI into our CI/CD pipeline to eliminate this, detailing how we evolved from deterministic to fully agentic workflows that automatically identify root causes and safeguard releases. *** Important information How to get there?
