**Anotace přednášky:** Většina QA týmů se topí ve spoustě dat, ale málokdo dokáže skutečně říct: tato data nám skutečně pomáhají rozhodovat. Přestaňte stavět obří dashboardy, které nikdo nečte. V této přednášce si ukážeme, jak rozklíčovat chaos mezi metrikami, KPI a OKR. Zjistíte, jak vybrat ukazatele, které reálně snižují rizika a zvyšují důvěru v každou dodanou verzi. Probereme konkrétní rozdíly v měření pro agilní týmy i robustní enterprise QA a ukážeme si, jak nastavit systém, který skutečně zrychluje delivery. **O speakerovi:** **Saša Zejnilović** zastává roli Lead Data Engineer v ABSA. Do ABSA nastoupil před 7 lety jako QA. Celkově má v IT 11 let zkušeností. Působí jako lektor ve společnosti Tredgate. Vedl také týmy 30+ lidí a pomáhal mnoha projektům. V srdci ale nadále zůstává testerem. Těšíme se - organizátoři [Pro:]Test! **Meetup probíhá pouze osobně bez streamování.

Last-minute defects? Painful releases? Frustrated business stakeholders? Customer complaints? Many organisations try to fix this by “improving testing”. But here's a secret: better testing can often make things slower and more expensive. So what’s really going wrong? At this Business Breakfast, we’ll explore why release problems are often not a problem in testing. In an increasingly unpredictable marketplace, with competitors challenging from all sides, and customers demanding more and more, we are all under pressure to continuously deliver new features quickly and cheaply. Under this sort of pressure, quality sometimes gets pushed to one side, as leaders focus on time and money. That is until you get to testing, when it's the poor quality that you have accumulated that slows you down, costs you money and makes your hair go grey. The way to achieve speed and reduce costs is to build in quality at every step of the delivery lifecycle. These are the proven principles of quality engineering that are the foundations of the high-performing DevOps teams in the world's most successful companies. Their laser focus on quality makes them competitive. The good news is that you can get the same results in whatever SDLC model you are following. Even waterfall. In the talk we will explain why the test phase can become a bottleneck and why that wastes a lot of time and money. We will then explain how testing, if applied smartly in the right places, can actually reduce waste and smooth the flow of your team's work - enabling you to shorten time to market, improve customer and stakeholder satisfaction, and increase your ROI. **O přednášejícím** **Phil Royston** Po své cestě v IT světě\, která začala koncem 80\. let\, v roce 2002 prakticky spadl do světa testování softwaru\. Od té doby se neohlédl zpět a stále miluje to co dělá\. V roce 2013 spoluzaložil společnost Tesena \| Smart Testing s mírně ambiciózním\, ale velmi vážně zamýšleným cílem změnit svět testování softwaru\. Rád spolupracuje s našimi klienty\, aby jim pomohl vyřešit problémy s testováním a kvalitou softwaru na individuální\, týmové\, skupinové a organizační úrovni\. Kromě svého závazku zvyšovat kvalitu softwaru se věnuje také vzdělávání a profesnímu rozvoji\. Jako lektor kurzů předává své rozsáhlé znalosti a zkušenosti a formuje další generaci IT profesionálů\. Phil pravidelně sdílí to\, co se naučil jako řečník\, na konferencích\, čímž dále přispívá k růstu a vývoji odvětví\. *** **[CZ] Jak agenti pomáhají v testingu** AI pomocníci rychle pronikají do všech oblastí našich životů, testing nevyjímaje. V krátkých praktických ukázkách představíme v manažerské úrovni detailu konkrétní scénáře, kde nástroje jako Copilot Studio a Rovo automatizují klíčové činnosti v SDLC, na nichž se podílejí testerské role. Od review specifikací přes tvorbu akceptačních kritérií až po generování testovacích případů přímo z Jiry a Confluence. Představíme snadno uchopitelné náměty pro nastartování či prohloubení vaší AI transformace. **O přednášejícím** **Miroslav Renda** Mirek se pohybuje v různých projektových rolích v IT businessu více než 25 let. Posledních 8 let si v roli test managera užíval zajímavé projekty ve velkých českých bankách a v oblasti automotive.

What if dating wasn’t about impressing? What if it wasn’t about swiping, judging, or performing? What if it was about being present, feeling, and truly meeting another person? This is not speed dating. This is slow, intentional connection. A carefully guided journey designed to move you out of the mind and into the body, out of small talk and into deep conversation. What Awaits You: Awakening Presence – Cacao ceremony, breathwork, and gentle relaxation to open the senses. Silent Connection – Embodiment exercises to feel connection before words. Deep Talks– Crafted with love questions that go beyond small talk. Intuitive Pairing – A closing round where you follow your inner pull to connect. Connection isn’t about finding the “right” person—it’s about discovering what happens when you truly see and are seen. 6 couples only. Slow, beautiful encounters facilitated by Katya Kokkalou

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

This is an in-person meeting. Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living. Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself. We will cover why that is and tools that work to help you unearth your self, your self-confidence and motivation. This meeting will help you learn about how to effectively overcome: -Out-of-control unwanted emotions -Low self-esteem -Anxiety -Negativity -Stress -Irrational fears -Traumatic or painfully emotional incidents -Breakups -Betrayals -Feeling like you're not really yourself -Self-doubt... We will discuss how to unleash the inner you and tap into your true potential. So come to this online meetup! This meeting is sponsored by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio
