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.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
