In this session, we’ll explore how Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) evolves in an agentic workflow using TestBox 7 and Agentic ColdBox. You’ll learn how to use ColdBox’s new AI capabilities, Guidelines, Skills, and Agents- to generate framework-aware, maintainable tests that follow real BDD practices instead of generic boilerplate. We’ll also dive into what’s new in TestBox 7, including real-time streaming test execution, dry-run test discovery, and improved CLI tooling. These features make it easier to audit, validate, and iterate on AI-generated tests, providing fast feedback without sacrificing confidence. Through live demos, we’ll show how to: Guide AI using ColdBox-native testing conventions Audit and validate AI-generated test suites before execution Use streaming feedback to accelerate agent-driven workflows If you’re using (or planning to use) AI in your development process, this session will give you practical patterns to ensure your tests remain a source of truth—not a source of risk. Learning Objectives Attendees will: Understand how agentic workflows impact BDD/TDD practices Use Agentic ColdBox Guidelines and Skills to generate framework-aware tests Use real-time streaming execution to speed up feedback loops Apply CLI features to manage performance and failures in large test suites Sat, 25 Apr 2026 06:17:00 GMT dvega@ortussolutions.com (Davis Vega) Modern web apps aren’t request/response anymore, they’re alive. In this session, we’ll explore how BoxLang makes real-time communication not just possible, but surprisingly simple. We’ll walk through three powerful approaches to real-time UX: Server-Sent Events (SSE) for lightweight, one-way streaming HTTP response streaming for progressive data delivery WebSockets with SocketBox for full duplex, event-driven apps BoxLang now includes first-class SSE support, allowing you to stream data directly from your server using the built-in SSE() function, complete with async execution, keep-alive handling, and automatic client disconnect detection. You can also consume streaming APIs (like AI providers) using the fluent http() API with real-time chunk processing callbacks. On the WebSocket side, we’ll introduce SocketBox, a library that integrates directly with the BoxLang/CommandBox HTTP layer to handle connection upgrades and message routing, bringing modern, event-driven communication to the BoxLang ecosystem without complex infrastructure. This session is a practical, demo-driven introduction where you’ll see: Streaming AI responses token-by-token to the browser Building live dashboards without polling Progressively rendering long-running requests Real-time chat and messaging with WebSockets Choosing the right tool: SSE vs streaming vs WebSockets Whether you’re building live dashboards, streaming AI responses, or interactive applications, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to implement real-time features in BoxLang today, and when to reach for SSE, HTTP streaming, or WebSockets. No hacks, no polling—just modern, event-driven patterns you can apply immediately. Learning Objectives By the end of this session, attendees will be able to: Explain the differences between SSE, HTTP streaming, and WebSockets, including when each approach is appropriate Implement Server-Sent Events in BoxLang using the SSE() function for real-time, one-way updates Consume and process streaming HTTP responses using BoxLang’s fluent http() API and chunk handlers Build a basic WebSocket application using SocketBox for bidirectional, event-driven communication Choose the right real-time strategy based on application needs, complexity, and scalability considerations Apply real-time patterns to common use cases like AI streaming, live dashboards, and interactive apps Sat, 25 Apr 2026 06:16:00 GMT dvega@ortussolutions.com (Davis Vega) Foundeo Inc Visionary Sponsor at ITB 2026 Foundeo Inc. is a software consulting and products company focused on ColdFusion and Lucee security.

In this session, you'll see how the Clade Code can act as a practical force multiplier—helping you move faster, reduce context switching, and get unstuck without breaking your flow. Clade Code works directly in your terminal, giving you instant, context-aware assistance without leaving your environment. Instead of bouncing between tools, docs, and browser tabs, you can interact with your codebase in place—asking questions, exploring logic, and making changes with speed and clarity. We'll focus on a handful of high-impact, real-world scenarios: quickly understanding unfamiliar or legacy code, refactoring messy logic into something cleaner, and generating useful tests or documentation. You'll see how these workflows play out live, and how they can immediately improve your productivity without requiring a complete overhaul of how you work. You'll leave with a clear sense of where Clade Code fits into your process and how to start using it right away to save time and reduce friction.

In this session, we’ll examine how small git decisions and collaboration can lead to either clarity or chaos. Poor Git practices often lead to hidden costs: delays, rework, and production issues. We’ll explore how a well-defined Git workflow brings structure, improves communication, and enables teams to work in parallel with confidence. Rather than focusing on commands, this session focuses into key decisions, trade-offs, and practices that help teams move faster while maintaining code quality.

In this session, we’ll explore how ContentBox goes beyond traditional CMS capabilities by providing a powerful headless API that enables you to build dynamic, secure, and scalable applications in record time. You’ll learn how to leverage ContentBox’s headless architecture to serve content across multiple platforms, from web and mobile to third-party integrations. We’ll walk through real-world use cases, demonstrate how to quickly stand up secure applications, and show how to extend and customize the API to fit your exact needs. Whether you're building SPAs, microservices, or enterprise integrations, this session will give you practical strategies to turn ContentBox into a flexible API engine for your next project.
