* Alice: Hey Bob, ready for the Big Release. Everything working?
* Bob: Yeah, sure. Why not?
* Alice: I don't know. Did you test your code?
* Bob: Of course. All the tests pass. What could possibly go wrong?
* Alice: Well, I guess, nothing... Let's release and go to JSFoo.

Sounds familiar? We all know how this story ends... and it's not with Bob and Alice having fun at JSFoo. Unacceptable!

In this talk, I will show how to uncover the power of dynamic analysis to improve the coverage of your tests and find bugs before your users. I will describe the techniques to automatically create more tests starting from a single, simple unit test, and demonstrate how it helps JavaScript developers create better code.

Olivier is a co-founder of BugBuster, a Switzerland based startup providing a next generation testing solution for Web and JavaScript developers.
