So what did folks learn from this webinar

Personally I strongly I agree with the title you embedded to the post, it was an interesting live session on Test Automation. I mentioned out learning areas in respect to our community

@kdaud

Thanks @grace looking out for sessions like this which introduced me to Cypress tool. The session was very interesting encountering other QA Engineers elsewhere learning their technical skills and this triggered my interest in learning about Cypress in contrast to Selenium in which both tools inherit feature files. Though currently reading about the tool but soon will extend my technical support to OCL and MF modules in respect to automation.

@grace

Anything very different about how DHIS2 is using cucumber + cypress?

The session did not cover DHIS2 integration with cucmber+cypress, however it was an intro to how cypress can be integrated in Test Automation. Deborah the session coordinator mentioned of the forth coming conference which I guess may include the referred caption of DHIS2.

@grace

Anything you think we can learn from them / do differently?

Having live (practical) sessions within our Squad calls could be a good idea as it may help those new squad members to get them started with the technical work, and also learning from each other as technical squad members. Have seen @mksd with other colleagues having this approach in MF-Squad where they do Live Sessions and silently has increased their technical team. Though it may not be applicable on weekly basis in squad calls due to arrays of activities to handle within the (60min=1hr) call , but at least once in a month .@k.joseph @christine it may be a good idea to starting thinking in this direction as QA Squad as well.
