On June 29 we proudly hosted the third WeStream meetup.

This time we directed our attention toward the fascinating world of frontend development, with a particular focus on supporting various platforms (smart tv or Android tv) and testing. After the introduction into the smart tv testing by Michal Topinka, we had the pleasure to host Martin Češka from Suitest presenting their solution that's revolutionizing OTT application testing. Showmax also presented what the Android team accomplished with Compose, and talked about adopting new solutions. 

For everybody who didn't make it to the meetup, we offer the recording of each of the talk.
