Clare Jones developed and enhanced letter template management features for the NHSDigital/nhs-notify-web-template-management repository, focusing on robust workflows and maintainable code. She implemented status-aware submission logic, improved error handling, and introduced last-edited tracking to support auditability. Clare refactored frontend components using React and TypeScript, aligning types with backend clients to ensure consistency and reduce duplication. She integrated security testing with OWASP ZAP and Playwright, enabling vulnerability detection within CI pipelines. Her work included backend validation improvements, URL management, and end-to-end test infrastructure, demonstrating depth in both frontend and backend development while delivering reliable, business-critical features for NHS Notify.

October 2025: Focused on enhancing template management UX and governance within NHSDigital/nhs-notify-web-template-management. Delivered a feature to display last edited time for message templates and refactored the sorting to updatedAt, improving traceability of recent changes and consistency with the data model. No major bugs fixed in this period for this repository. This work reduces audit time, mitigates confusion between creation and modification times, and supports faster decision-making for template updates. Technologies demonstrated include TypeScript/React-based UI, UI table enhancements, and maintainability through targeted refactoring.

In September 2025, NHSDigital/nhs-notify-web-template-management delivered two key features that strengthen template safety and testing coverage: 1) Template Validation Improvements: removed the forbidden-character regex for NHS App templates; validation now relies on HTML encoding, simplifying logic and reducing maintenance; regex-related tests were removed (CCM-10931, CCM-12065). 2) User Timeout Testing Infrastructure: introduced a dedicated end-to-end test suite with configuration, setup/teardown scripts, Makefile targets, and Playwright configuration to reliably validate user timeout scenarios (CCM-11724). Overall impact: reduces risk by simplifying validation, improves testability and reliability of timeout-related flows, and accelerates safe deployments. This work demonstrates strong competencies in validation strategy, test infrastructure, and end-to-end testing. Technologies/skills demonstrated: HTML encoding-based validation, Playwright-based end-to-end testing, Makefile-driven test infra, test architecture and maintenance.

May 2025 performance summary: delivered two high-impact features that improve robustness and security across the NHS Notify platform. In nhs-notify-web-template-management, implemented a status-aware template submission workflow with UI enhancements to ensure letters are submitted only when eligible, accompanied by clearer error messaging. In nhs-notify-system-tests, integrated OWASP ZAP-based security scanning by proxying Playwright tests, enabling vulnerability detection within CI/test flows. Overall, these efforts reduced submission errors, tightened security visibility in development/QA, and demonstrated strong cross-repo collaboration and modern testing capabilities.
