18:00 - Community Intro and Welcoming

18:05 - Unifying Local and Cloud AI with Microsoft Agent Framework

Modern applications are no longer limited to a single AI model or environment. In this session, we explore how to combine on-device intelligence with cloud-scale models to build powerful, cohesive workflows.

You’ll see how local OS models - such as Apple Intelligence and Phi Silica - can handle responsive, privacy-sensitive tasks directly on the device, while cloud models extend capabilities with deeper reasoning and broader context.

Using the Microsoft Agent Framework, we’ll orchestrate these components into a unified system that routes work intelligently between edge and cloud.

19:05 - Breaking the 100% Code Coverage Illusion

Does 100% Code Coverage ensure you have no bugs at all? Of course, no!

If your team aims at reaching 100% Code Coverage with Unit Tests, then this session is for you!

In this session, I will explain

- what is Code Coverage, and what are the benefits of a high coverage percentage
- how to generate Code Coverage reports in Visual Studio (with examples in C#)
- why you should NOT aim at 100% Coverage
- how is it possible to have 100% Code Coverage and yet have an unreliable system
- how to create valuable tests (Testing Pyramid vs Testing Diamond)
- how to create Integration Tests with NUnit

Attendees will learn practical and actionable lessons about why their 100% Code Coverage may not be as reliable as they think.

They will learn how to change their approach to tests - quality over quantity!
