Navjot Kehal developed robust automated testing and backend validation features for the CS-Winter2025/backend repository over two months. Focusing on search bar functionality, Navjot implemented comprehensive black-box and UI regression tests using C#, Selenium WebDriver, and NUnit, ensuring accurate handling of user queries and reliable identification of records. The work included refactoring test infrastructure, introducing shared utilities for numeric domain validation, and enhancing CI/CD reliability by stabilizing driver management and database seeding. By resolving environment merge conflicts and unifying test utilities, Navjot improved maintainability, accelerated feedback cycles, and reduced release risk, demonstrating depth in backend testing and automation engineering.
April 2025 performance summary for CS-Winter2025/backend: Delivered a robust UI regression test suite for employee, services, and residents search bars with unified test utilities and CI/CD-ready driver lifecycle management. Introduced backend numeric domain validation tests and shared utilities to standardize numeric input checks across Charges, Employees, and Services. Aligned test data and context with updated seeding and DatabaseContext to support deterministic results, while removing brittle browser driver usage to reduce CI flakiness. Achieved improved maintainability and faster feedback on feature work through test infrastructure refactors and cross-domain validation.
