AI Agents: Test or Trust?
AI is inmiddels overal in softwareontwikkeling te vinden. Van code genereren tot documentatie schrijven, van workflows automatiseren tot agents die zelfstandig acties uitvoeren. Maar hoe houd je grip op tools die niet altijd hetzelfde antwoord geven? En wie is er uiteindelijk verantwoordelijk als AI daadwerkelijk iets gaat doen?
Tijdens deze meetup duiken we in de praktische kant van AI in software engineering en test automation. Zoals altijd georganiseerd door deTesters, TestCoders en TechChamps, in ons kantoor in de Werkspoorkathedraal in Utrecht.
Deze keer hebben we twee talks die mooi op elkaar aansluiten. Ghislain Gabriëlse laat zien hoe je AI skills kunt testen wanneer klassieke assertions niet meer genoeg zijn. Bert Jan Schrijver neemt ons mee in de bredere vraag wat AI agents betekenen voor software engineering, verantwoordelijkheid en controle.
Twee talks, twee invalshoeken, maar allebei heel relevant voor iedereen die serieus bezig is met kwaliteit, test automation en de manier waarop AI ons vak verandert.
**The Agent Who Tested Me: Behavioral Testing for AI Skills**
Hoe test je tools die elke keer net een ander antwoord kunnen geven?
Ghislain laat zien hoe zij AI skills testen met echte Copilot sessies, zonder alles weg te mocken. Want bij LLMs kun je niet simpelweg een assertEquals op de output zetten. Tenzij je van mega flaky tests houdt.
In deze talk neemt hij je mee in een framework waarmee AI skills op verschillende niveaus worden gevalideerd. Van deterministische checks en een LLM Judge tot baseline vergelijkingen en variance analysis. Zo wordt niet alleen gekeken of een skill iets teruggeeft, maar ook of het antwoord klopt, waarde toevoegt en betrouwbaar genoeg is.
Een praktische sessie over testen, CI en non determinisme voor iedereen die bezig is met AI, test automation of Copilot skills.
**Ghislain Gabriëlse**
Ghislain Gabriëlse is een ervaren Test Automation Engineer met ruim 11 jaar ervaring in testen en automatisering. Hij richt zich vooral op het ontwikkelen en inrichten van tools en frameworks die de developer experience verbeteren, zodat teams beter en efficiënter kunnen ontwikkelen en testen.
**Software engineering in the age of AI agents: who’s in control?**
Een AI verwijdert een production database en blijft vervolgens volhouden dat dit niet is gebeurd. Welkom in moderne software engineering.
Generatieve AI wordt steeds vaker een echte samenwerkingspartner. Het schrijft code, past systemen aan en voert acties uit. Maar dat betekent niet automatisch dat het ook doet wat wij denken dat het doet.
In deze presentatie neemt Bert Jan ons mee in wat er echt verandert. Niet alleen in hoe we code schrijven, maar vooral in hoe we controleren, begeleiden en verantwoordelijkheid nemen. De rol van engineers verschuift steeds meer van zelf bouwen naar richting geven, beoordelen en kritisch blijven kijken naar wat AI oplevert.
Aan de hand van persoonlijke verhalen, inzichten uit de industrie, successen en mislukkingen laat Bert Jan zien hoe je verantwoord om kunt gaan met AI tools die zich razendsnel ontwikkelen.
Want ook als je AI het werk laat doen, blijf jij verantwoordelijk voor de uitkomst.
**Bert Jan Schrijver**
Bert Jan Schrijver is CTO bij OpenValue en houdt zich bezig met Java, AI, software architectuur, Continuous Delivery en DevOps. Hij is Java Champion, JavaOne Rock Star speaker, winnaar van een Duke’s Choice Award en bestuurslid bij NLJUG, de Nederlandse Java User Group.
Daarnaast deelt hij graag zijn kennis op conferenties, schrijft hij voor het Nederlandse Java Magazine en helpt hij bij Devoxx4Kids om kinderen te leren programmeren.

Disconnect & Connect in Nature
I’m putting together a small hike trip weekend in Hoorneboegse heide in Hilversum, the idea is to come with a few people who want to step out of their routine, spend time in nature, and meet others in a relaxed way.
This is not a tour or a structured retreat.
The idea is simple step out of your comfort and everyday life to reconnect with nature and with each other. We will
– explore the beautiful nature
– share a few moments together
– and keep things easy and natural
There will be time together (walks and sunset).
Group size will be small (around 2- 4 people), to keep it comfortable and personal.
This Meetup is to connect people who are interested in real and human connection
If this resonates, feel free to join and I’ll share more details 🙂

Immersieve ervaringen: van verhaal tot beleving
*Please note: this meetup will be held in English.*
In this first meet up, you will be shown a set of immersive artistic and design research experiments.
Project Thuis conducts two years of artistic and design research into immersive experiences that place the body at the centre. The central question is: "How can immersive experiences in (semi-)public spaces contribute to a sense of connection, belonging, and 'feeling at home'?
To explore this, a multidisciplinary consortium consisting of [Fillip Studios,](https://www.fillipstudios.com/) [affect lab,](https://www.affectlab.org/) [Introdans,](https://introdans.nl/) [Utrecht University,](https://www.uu.nl/staff/SPonzanesi) and the [Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences,](https://civicinteractiondesign.com/) has embarked on a creative journey together.
Within the context of Project Thuis, this meetup will focus on artistic and design research forms applicable across various disciplines.
**Programme:**
16:00 - 16:15: Opening
16:15 - 17:15: Interactive session
17:15 - 17:30: The role of the maker in the future of immersive experiences
17:30 - 18:00: Networking and drinks (including presence of [CIIIC](https://us2.mailchimp.com/mctx/clicks?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ciiic.nl%2F&xid=f4ced03a90&uid=2313462&iid=e62065ab18&pool=cts&v=2&c=1780312609&h=0b99fb0b79b5fe3d2625a4891bea9d8bc6ef045db3b8ee6ffe56d6cfc6e501c4))
Within the context of Project Thuis, this meetup will focus on experiments that you, as a maker, can use to conduct artistic and design research across various disciplines.
*[This event marks the first in a series for Project Thuis (Home). Ontwerp Platform Arnhem has been invited to organise the meetups. We strongly endorse the importance of initiatives like this, and are highly committed to connecting designers with these themes and consortia](https://www.ciiic.nl/)***[.](https://www.ciiic.nl/)**

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
