Sziasztok! Nagy örömel várunk titeket a következő Teszt és Tea alkalmunkra **FONTOS RÉSZLETEK:** Ez alkalommal az evosoft Hungary Kft. vendégei leszünk. Az esemény gördülékenysége érdekében ezért az alábbiakra figyeljetek: * Maximum **100 fő** fog tudni jelentkezni a meetupra * A **meetup appot** használjátok kérlek * A jelentkezés során kérlek használjátok a **valódi neveteket** (ettől függ, hogy be tudtok-e jutni majd az irodába) * **Jelentkezni március 17.-én napvégéig tudtok!** Erre az estére egy különleges téma csokorral készülünk nektek: megnézzük, milyen furcsaságok alakították a szoftvertesztelés múltját, majd fejest ugrunk a jövőbe, hogy kiderítsük, ki is az a Test Architect, és hogyan navigálhatunk magabiztosan ebben az új világban. **Az este agendája:** * **Fekete Attila: Új ISTQB minősítések a modern tesztelésben** Attila röviden bemutatja az újdonságokat az ISTQB certifikációk világában. * **Mészár Imola: A teáskanna, az Evil Bit és más tesztelői rémálmok** Mi a közös a HTTP 418-ban, az Evil Bitben és a Caps Lock-ban? Valódi szoftvertörténetek, amelyek sokkal többet árulnak el a tesztelői gondolkodásról, mint bármelyik tankönyv. Ebben az előadásban a szándékos „hibákon", rejtett állapotokon és etikai dilemmákon keresztül járjuk körbe azt a kérdést, amit minden QA-nak fel kellene tennie: nem az, hogy „működik-e" – hanem hogy kinek, és milyen feltételezésekre építve. * **Bolyhos Csaba és Csépe Zsombor: A Tesztelés Múltja és Jövője** A szoftvertesztelés már rég nem csak hibakeresés. A modern rendszerek világában a minőség tudatosan tervezett architektúra eredménye – ahol a Teszt Architect a pipeline, a döntések és a minőségkultúra építője. Megmutatjuk, hogyan változik ez a szerep a DevOps, a microservice-ek és az AI korszakában. Várunk mindenkit, aki szeretné megismerni a tesztarchitektek világát, vagy csak szívesen beszélgetne egy jót a szakma jelenéről és jövőjéről!

Head out to FANGs 2nd annual board game garage sale! **We will have multiple sellers and hundreds of games!** We're selling games from 5pm - 8pm. Swing into the event room on the first floor and pick up some great "new to you" games. Grab a beer while you're there and tip our bar tender friends Seventh Son has a small parking lot & street parking is free on Sundays. They will also have a food truck. You can play your games in the Sun Room (up stairs) or at the tables in the main bar.

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Thanks for being a part of the CABS Meetup Group! We meet @ the COFFEE UNDERGROUND on Indianola Avenue. We play many different games @ CABS - bring your own or play one of the OVER 2000 in our library. What are your favorite games? What was the last game you played? Hope to see and game with you soon! Check us out on Facebook! Doors open early on Saturday Mornings at 10am and around 4pm on Fridays if you are interested in learning new / simpler games ... or new to the hobby or just want to check us out come in early just after noon and we will show you around before the crowd grows. Stay for a game or two, an hour or two or for the day! Your first visit is free and after that it's $5 a meeting or you can join for the year! It's Your Move
