Teszt és Tea @Raiffeisen - AI a tesztelésben – Hype helyett valódi hatékonyság
Sziasztok!
Mielőtt mindenki elmerülne a nyári szabadságok és tervek megvalósításában, fussunk össze még egyszer a Teszt és Tea keretein belül! Ezúttal egy rendkívül forró témát hozunk nektek: hogyan támogatja az AI a mindennapi szoftvertesztelést a gyakorlatban?
**FONTOS RÉSZLETEK:**
Ez alkalommal az Raiffeisen Bank Zrt. vendégei leszünk. Az esemény gördülékenysége érdekében ezért az alábbiakra figyeljetek:
* Maximum **80** **fő** fog tudni jelentkezni a meetupra
* A jelentkezéshez **meetup appot** használjátok kérlek
* A jelentkezés során kérlek használjátok a **valódi neveteket** (ettől függ, hogy be tudtok-e jutni majd az irodába
* **Jelentkezni június 7.-én napvégéig tudtok!**
**Előadásaink**
**Tomócsik Zoltán, Szabó Beáta: Az AI, mint a quality menedzsment hatékony támogató eszköze**
Egyre gyorsabb sprintek, egyre kevesebb idő – és közben a minőség nem romolhat. Ismerős?
Amikor banki rendszereket tesztelünk (online banking, mobilapp, core rendszerek), hamar eljutunk oda, hogy a manuális megközelítés már nem elég. Itt jön képbe az AI.
Ebben az előadásban azt mutatjuk meg, hogyan jutottunk el oda, hogy az AI nem csak egy hype, hanem valós eszköz lett a tesztmenedzsmentben:
* segít eldönteni, mit érdemes tesztelni,
* képes teszteket generálni,
* és támogatja a döntéshozatalt a legkritikusabb pontokon.
De nem minden arany, ami fénylik: beszélünk a veszélyekről is – hallucináció, adatvédelem, auditálhatóság –, és arról, miért marad továbbra is kulcsfontosságú az emberi kontroll.
Ez az előadás azoknak szól, akik szeretnék érteni, nem csak használni az AI-t a banki tesztelésben.
**Ágnecz Gergely: AI a szoftverfejlesztésben és tesztelésben – gyakorlati tapasztalatok egy SDET-től**
Mind tapasztaljuk az AI hype-ot és az eszközök térnyerését az iparban. Nézzük meg egy gyakorlatiasabb szemszögből, hogyan alakította át az elmúlt években az AI a szoftverfejlesztést és a minőségbiztosítást, illetve hogy mindez hogyan néz ki egy SDET mindennapjaiban
Nagy örömmel várunk minden lelkes érdeklődőt, találkozzunk a meetupon!
WWDC Watch Party: Apple's New Direction
**Apple is about to change how your customers buy.**
If you think WWDC is just a technical event for developers, you are missing the biggest market shift of the year.
This is where Apple drops the updates that will dictate consumer behavior for the next 12 months.
These hardware and software changes could open a massive new lane for our businesses. Or they could completely break the tools you rely on every day.
We are gathering at JO&JOE to watch the keynote live.
We want to see if the rumors actually happen. Gemini-powered Siri? AI-centric glasses? Tim Cook stepping down?
We definitely do not have all the answers.
But we want to invite you to figure out what these updates actually mean all of us.
June 8th. Arrive at 18:30. The stream starts at 19:00 Budapest time.
*(Please note: This is an unofficial, community-driven watch party. The event is completely free to attend and is not officially affiliated with or sponsored by Apple.)*
See you there,
Bence & Nándi

Creative Writing Budapest
**This week's venue: Beer People \| Lázár utca 7\, Budapest 1065**
We hold a bi-weekly workshop to encourage creative writing where we share pieces of creative writing and solicit feedback from the other attendees.
Some members also use the forum to find others with whom to collaborate, edit work, and/or brainstorm plot, themes, settings, and so forth. And from time to time, we participate in competitions, recite and/or offer material for events organized by other groups.
At the moment there is no prompt for this particular meetup.
Instead, writers are invited to submit something they have (or are working on) or to craft a short story specifically for the event.
Of course, there's no pressure to submit something. Many participants are interested in hearing ideas, questioning the authors, and examining style and technique. Often, we explore other published works as well.
The submission guidelines are as follows:
1. limit the piece to 850 words (to give enough time for any other submissions being read at the event);
2. make the text available (though you can read it aloud) for the other attendees. Many authors bring a few printed copies, others post their work in the comments of the meetup;
3. have a question in mind for the group about the submission; and,
4. If offering something from a longer work, be prepared to give a little bit of background first.

Pope vs. AI?—Current Events Social: Life's big 'AI' questions!
## **Pope vs. AI?—Current Events Social: Life's big 'AI' questions!**
Get ready for a fun combo of philosophical musing and current events. Even global leaders and tech pioneers are pausing to ask what comes next. Following the Vatican’s recent warnings on AI safety and Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah’s admission that these questions are *"bigger than the AI research community,"* it’s time for us to weigh in!
Here are 3 big questions we’ll dive into around our friendly table:
1️⃣ **Who holds the remote control?** As algorithms take over decision-making, how do we ensure humanity always retains ultimate control?
2️⃣ **Are we risking "digital slavery"?** With warnings comparing unchecked AI to historical exploitation, how do we prevent technology from dehumanizing workers and users?
3️⃣ **What makes us human—and not more and more like AI?** As machines get smarter, how do we safeguard our unique human connection, creativity, and imagination?
📰 **Useful link:** We may use this article to guide our discussion: [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedppn6002jo](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedppn6002jo)
Bring your curiosity and your best skepticism. Let’s grab a drink and solve the ultimate CAPTCHA: what actually makes us human? (No clicking on traffic lights required!)

* 🎀 Whether you are leading a corporation, building a creative empire, or navigating the quiet uncertainty of a career transition, you have a seat at our table. The **diversity of professional backgrounds** makes our circle special with shared wisdom.
* 🎀 Our **soft-flow dialogue** ensures that no bravery is required to be heard. You don’t have to be the loudest in the room to be the most impactful. Here, your silence is respected, and your voice is gently invited.

Trading the Elevator Pitch for Real Stories

* **Building your Budapest circle**, weather you're a local or a newcomer (expat), ready to make this city feel like home.
* **Hungry for high-fidelity connections** that go deeper than a business card.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
**We discover the city’s hidden gems together.** Once you register, you’ll receive the secret location for our gathering.
**You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome hug** **and your first coffee (or tea) is on us**. We keep our groups intimate to ensure real conversation. With the help of a facilitator and our custom cards, we open the door to insights you won't find anywhere else.
**No pressure, just presence.** You can stay quiet and listen, or share your wisdom with the group. You only share what you’re comfortable with. When the gathering ends, the connection continues, and you’ll be invited to our private community to keep the chemistry going.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
We know the algorithm loves loud, party-style events, but we believe in the power of the intimate and the intentional. We are here for the women who want to be seen, heard, and truly connected.

DevBP #16: Ship Happens
In the last DevBP meetup before the summer break, we will venture to the world of **Continuous Delivery**, exploring the craft of shipping software safely and continuously — from the practices that keep your releases boring, to the hard-won lessons of building the infrastructure behind a feature toggle.
\-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\-
**Continuous Delivery Never Died. It Became a Harness.**
with [András Fincza (Draven) - XUND](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrasfincza/)
The PR-centered pipeline was already buckling under big batches, delayed feedback, and overloaded reviewers. Agents just turned up the volume. But the discipline that made CD work in 2015: trunk-based development, fast feedback, sociable testing, feature flags, quality gates. These matter more in 2026, not less. This talk is about what to keep from the old playbook, what to upgrade, and what to stop pretending works.
**Building a Feature Flag service**
with [Zoltán Dávid - ConfigCat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoltan-david/)
Everyone knows what a feature flag is. Far fewer know what it takes to build and run a feature flag service at scale. In this talk, we'll go behind the scenes of ConfigCat: the technical decisions, the scaling surprises, and the business lessons that came from serving billions of feature flag evaluations. No introductions to feature flagging, just honest insights from years of building a product in a space where reliability isn't optional.
\-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\- \-\-\-
This English-language event will be held at the **Shapr3D office**, where we'll provide snacks and drinks to fuel conversations.
Arrival is from 17:30, the presentations start at 18:00.
You can also find the recordings of previous events on the [@DevBPMeetup YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@DevBPMeetup).

Transzformáció középvezetői szinten
*Nem a framework a nehéz, hanem az emberek*
Egy transzformáció megvisel minden szervezetben dolgozót -pozíciótól függetlenül-. A csapattagok felé számtalan új elvárást kommunikálnak, a felsővezetők hirtelen elkezdenek magasabb szinten tervezni.
De mi van a középvezetőkkel? Gyakorlatilag ők lesznek a "transzformációs belső tolmácsok" egyikei. Elvárásokat támasztanak feléjük. De vajon a segítséget is megkapják ezekhez?
Célunk, hogy gyakorlati szituációkon keresztül bemutassuk, hogy mi milyen kihívásokkal találkoztunk, és milyen megoldásokkal próbálkoztunk. Pláne, amik működnek... :)

Az APEX 26.1 és az AI támogatott fejlesztés
Az AI most már nem csak külső chatbotként jelenik meg a fejlesztésben, hanem az Oracle APEX világába is egyre mélyebben beépül.
Ezen a meetupon gyakorlati példákon keresztül nézzük meg, mit jelent ez APEX fejlesztőknek, PL/SQL fejlesztőknek és vállalati alkalmazásokat építő csapatoknak.
Az új verzió fókuszában az **AI-támogatott fejlesztés**, az automatizálhatóság és a modern fejlesztői élmény áll.
A 26.1 legfontosabb újdonságai közé tartozik az **APEXlang**, amely olvashatóbb, fejlesztők és AI-eszközök számára is könnyebben értelmezhető alkalmazásleírást ad.
Megjelent az **AI Interactive Reports**, amely természetes nyelvi támogatást hoz a riportolásba.
Szintén fontos újdonság az **AI Agent Tools**, amely biztonságosabb és kontrolláltabb AI-alapú megoldások építését teszi lehetővé.
Beszélünk a **Codex** APEX fejlesztésben való használatáról, az **OpenAI** integrációs lehetőségekről, valamint bemutatjuk azt is, hogyan építhető **projekt szintű chatbot** saját adatok és dokumentumok alapján.
Célunk az Oracle Application Express népszerűsítése, a fejlesztői közösség erősítése és olyan gyakorlati megoldások bemutatása, amelyek valódi ügyféligényekre adhatnak választ.
Ha érdekel az APEX, a low-code fejlesztés és az AI gyakorlati alkalmazása, regisztrálj minél előbb, mert a helyek csak korlátozottan állnak rendelkezésre.
A rendezvény ingyenes, de regisztrációhoz kötött.

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**!
The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*.
Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

DoJo (Informal Python Meeting)
**Latest Dojo Location!**
**Knotty Pine Brewing**
1765 W 3rd Ave,
Columbus, OH 43212
We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works
Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead.
We're looking for speakers for our Monthly Meetups! Fill out the form if you are interested in presenting to the Python Community.
