During February 2026, Deepak Bhutyal focused on improving test reliability within the sonic-net/sonic-mgmt repository. He addressed a platform-specific issue in the test_unknown_mac.py script by removing Marvell ASIC references from the YAML-based test configuration, ensuring that unknown MAC address tests targeted only the Cisco-8000 platform. This adjustment clarified expected test behavior and reduced ambiguity across mixed-platform environments, directly enhancing CI determinism and test accuracy. Deepak applied his skills in configuration management and testing to streamline the test suite, maintaining code quality through a properly signed-off commit. His work contributed to more predictable and maintainable automated testing workflows.
