What: Selenium, a UI testing paradigm

Who: Nathan Gloyn, developer, designer, Certified Scrum Professional, wanna-be architect, agile evangelist, and presenter

Why: Because testing web applications involves a lot of manual effort for very little gain. Selenium is one way in which this process can be automated and reduced to unit tests. Also because Nathan is a developer's presenter, he is clear and to the point and speaks with the voice of experience.
