Presented by Nicolas Wettstein at the 4th Annual Google Test Automation Conference, October 21st, 22nd, 2009, Zurich, CH Web applications are hard to write and even harder to test. GWT – the Google Web Toolkit – simplifies these tasks to some extent and there are still pitfalls that make GWT applications hard to test. This talk will discuss the most important pitfalls and demonstrate how they can be avoided. Bio: Nicolas joined Google in May 2007.
