Let’s discuss the hidden dangers of inadequate error logging – how silent failures and cryptic stack traces undermine website performance and user satisfaction. For many organizations, we prioritize the next set of features over tackling technical debt and legacy issues. This will always be a balancing act between growth and maintenance; but how do we know when to focus on the backlog of bugs and undiscovered errors? Well, it all starts with a useful, comprehensive error log.

The marketing department at Stanford Health Care is responsible for the content in an extensive and dynamic web ecosystem, including 10 websites containing about 25,000 pages of content. This session will explore the tools and processes involved in the creation, publication, and maintenance of web content within a consensus-driven organization.  

Cypress evolved end-to-end testing to make it faster and more convenient than it's ever been. It is truly a huge step forward. However, since the summer of 2023, Playwright downloads have skyrocketed and for good reason. At the current trajectory, downloads will surpass those of Cypress by the end of 2024. Why so much interest?

In this session, delivered by someone who works closely with both frameworks, we will examine:

I've recently moved a handful of websites from Pantheon and Linode (Akamai) over to Amezmo for hosting. I'd love to share my experience, and some tips and tricks for getting Backdrop CMS sites running on this new platform. 

Over the last year University Communications and its partners have been working to combine our two news website properties (news.stanford.edu and news.stanford.edu/report) into a robust content aggregation platform that delivers personalized, campus-wide news and storytelling to its end users. This session will walk through the research, process, challenges, and accomplishments that have got us where we are today. If time permits, we'll also look towards the future at our plans to evolve they system. Come hear all about it!

We have all been there. We submit an article or technical content and the editorial team formats it in a way that changes the content or breaks accessibility.

Arguably, the first rule of slideshows is not to have slideshows, but what do you do when the primary product owner insists?

“We need to think about accessibility before we start any of our work, before we write any line of code, at every step of our development lifecycle. Shifting left means thinking about accessibility at the start of every step we take when we deploy new software or services.”

Session Description:

In this enlightening session, we will embark on a journey into the future of code review, where the integration of ChatGPT and GitLab CI revolutionizes the software development process. Discover how the fusion of automation, seamless integration, and cutting-edge innovation is reshaping the way we ensure code quality.
