+
+[FediForum](https://fediforum.org/) is an unconference "for the people who move the
+Fediverse forward". It took place for the fourth time September 12-14, 2024, online.
+ (Disclaimer: I'm an organizer.)
+
+Naturally, I ran a session on FediTest there. We had a number of Fediverse developers
+there, including [Ryan Barrett](https://snarfed.org) and
+[Jesse Karmani](https://github.com/jesseplusplus). (There were others but following
+FediForum conventions, I don't want to publish their names as they didn't add their
+names to the public attendee list of the session.)
+
+I used a few slides from my {{% pageref "2024-08-08-feditest-at-dwebcamp.md" "most recent deck" %}}
+and gave a brief demo -- although it reported a few more errors than it should have because
+I had been out with the flu the previous week and didn't manage to get it fixed beforehand.
+
+But the demo was interesting anyway:
+
+* Run a single command: `feditest run --testplan <some-file.json>`, which:
+
+* automatically spun up two instances of Mastodon;
+
+* with auto-provisioned, local hostnames;
+
+* with a local certificate authority (CA) and TLS certs from that local CA;
+
+* obtained one account each on each Mastodon instance;
+
+* used the Mastodon API to have the second Mastodon account follow the first;
+
+* used the Mastodon API to have the first Mastodon account post something;
+
+* and test that the second account received that post in their inbox.
+
+Progress!
