Teszt és Tea @evosoft – 2026 Március - A Teáskannától a Teszt Architektúráig
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!

By the end of this session, atttendees will

ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.
Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.
So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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.
