Automating Web Application Testing

Join us on June 15th for the 10th Trustworthy AI Community Meetup in Luxembourg, hosted by the **SnT research center** in collaboration with **Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Luxembourg Chapter**. In addition to guided networking at the end, the event will feature a session dedicate to **When the Word Becomes Co-Creation: Replacing the work, not the worker.** We are at a turning point where artificial intelligence is moving from a passive tool we chat with into an active participant we delegate tasks to. Today, our language is no longer just communication - it is the direct catalyst for action. But as these systems become capable of generating outcomes much faster than we can manually review them, we face a profoundly human challenge: how do we maintain trust and control? If we rely on these tools blindly, we risk letting the algorithms subtly steer our judgment, as they are naturally inclined to be compliant and simply mirror our own flawed assumptions back to us. In this session, we will explore the human side of Trustworthy AI. We will discuss why the true promise of these systems lies in elevating human potential, how to cultivate a dynamic of genuine co-creation where the AI acts as a collaborative partner that challenges our assumptions, and the ways to confidently shift our trust from overseeing daily actions to orchestrating broader, more impactful outcomes. Whether you are a manager, developer, creator, or an everyday consumer, join us to discover how to actively cooperate with AI today. We will discuss how to secure your position as the orchestrator of this technology, ensuring it empowers your decisions rather than overriding them.

Hello Friends! This time, we're going to explore a forest I've seen many times from the balcony of a dear friend during his legendary house parties, and I've always wondered whether there's a good hiking trail. Today I looked that place up, and indeed, there's one: Bertrange Autopedestre. No idea whether it's a new AP or whether I just did not see it before, but let's check it out, hiking boots on the ground! 🥾🥾 I've added an experimental part, to get to an adequate distance. After around 8km, there is a spot that looks suitable for our lunch break. 8km, Beatrice, not before! **Meeting Point:** We will meet near the bus stop "City Concorde", in Bertrange/Helfent, and we will start right after the bus arrives. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Lug56zn6Ywy8zEYc9 **Public Transport:** You can take Bus 6 from "Hamilius", leaving at 10:36, towards "Bertrange Gemeng". **Carpool:** If you can offer a seat or look for one, here's the link to the carpool: https://groupcarpool.com/t/sy9f4d There should be plenty of parking available on the City Concorde parking lot. **Please note:** It's tick season. Be careful, use some repellent product, and check yourself after the hike. As usual, the hike is at your own risk, and please take enough water for yourself. Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens

**Um was geht es dieses mal?** **Das Ende der Code-Ära: Warum Domain Modeling & Harness Engineering die wichtigsten Skills 2026 sind. - Benjamin Font Pera (codecentric)** "Die Ära, in der Softwareentwicklung primär durch das Beherrschen von Programmiersprachen und Frameworks definiert wurde, ist vorbei. Wer 2026 noch versucht, über reine Syntax-Kenntnisse Wertschöpfung zu generieren, hat gegen agentische KI-Systeme bereits verloren. Die eigentliche Herausforderung hat sich nach links verschoben: in die präzise Definition von Problemen und die Konstruktion von Leitplanken. In diesem Talk räume ich mit dem Mythos auf, dass KI uns das Denken abnimmt. Im Gegenteil: Die Verantwortung steigt. Ich stelle das Konzept des Harness Engineering vor – die Kunst, fachliche Anforderungen so in Test- und Evaluationsgerüste zu gießen, dass KI-Systeme darin verlässlich operieren können. Als Agentic Coding Engineer und AI Coach zeige ich auf, warum Fachlichkeit zur wichtigsten technischen Fähigkeit wird. Wenn die KI Code generiert oder “halluziniert”, ist das tiefe Verständnis der Domäne das einzige verlässliche Werkzeug zur Qualitätssicherung. Die Kernbotschaften: Problem-Definition als Hard-Skill: Warum die Fähigkeit, komplexe Fachlichkeit präzise einzufangen, das neue „Clean Code” ist. Harness Engineering statt Code-Fixing: Wie wir die Kontrolle behalten, indem wir das „Harnisch” (Evals & Guardrails) bauen, statt Zeile für Zeile zu reviewen. Shift Left zur Domäne: Warum Entwickler:innen 2026 mehr wie System-Architekten und Domänen-Experten denken müssen, um relevant zu bleiben. Lessons Learned vom AI Coach: Warum die größten Hürden dieser Transformation nicht technischer Natur sind, sondern im Mindset der „Lösungs-Produzenten” liegen. Dieser Vortrag ist ein Weckruf für alle, die Softwareentwicklung noch als Handwerk am Code verstehen – und ein Leitfaden für diejenigen, die bereit sind, die nächste Ebene der Abstraktion zu besetzen." **Hybrides Setup!** Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den Räumen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und Getränken und freuen uns gleichzeitig über interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. Für alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchführen. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten später, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit für persönliches Kennenlernen haben.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

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! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
