May 2025 monthly summary for newfold-labs/wp-module-data: Strengthened test coverage and CI readiness through Cypress-based end-to-end testing, including Plugin Activation Tests, with alignment updates to the test harness (ActivateTest.php and integration.suite.yml). Expanded test infrastructure and quality gates by adding BatchQueueWPUnitTest.php, EventQueueTest.php, EventManagerIntegrationTest.php, and pre-test database table creation, plus bootstrap integration for code coverage and PHPCS enforcement. Improved reliability by fixing critical test infra bugs (symlink requirement for integration tests, activation flow impacted by function_exists(), server_path handling with untrailingslashit, and keeping global $wpdb intact), along with spelling fixes and more robust conditions (>=). Architecture and quality improvements included Dependency Injection for EventManager/Data and EventQueue, and refactoring BatchQueue creation helper, plus updates to composer.lock and plugin includes. Overall impact: reduced regression risk, faster validation cycles, and safer deployments through a CI-ready, test-driven workflow. Technologies demonstrated: Cypress E2E testing, WordPress unit testing with WPUnitTestCase, DI patterns, PHP, PHPCS, and test infrastructure enhancements.
