Alba Herrerías focused on modernizing the test infrastructure in the apache/logging-log4j2 repository by migrating multiple modules from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5. Over two months, she updated the log4j-osgi-test, log4j-taglib, and log4j-jul modules, carefully replacing legacy annotations, imports, and assertion methods while preserving core test behavior and backward compatibility. Her work in Java and OSGi emphasized refactoring and testing best practices, resulting in a more maintainable and reliable test suite. These changes laid a stronger foundation for future enhancements, improved contributor onboarding, and enabled safer refactoring, demonstrating depth in test modernization and code quality improvement.
