Worked on the bmw-software-engineering/lobster repository, delivering features that enhanced automation, configuration management, and testing reliability across a six-month period. Developed flexible data extraction tools for Codebeamer, enabling multi-schema outputs and CLI-driven configuration using Python and YAML. Introduced YAML-based configuration for both core tools and integrations, reducing manual setup and improving reproducibility. Expanded test automation with Selenium-based UI testing and C++ unit testing, integrating these into CI pipelines for continuous feedback. Improved authentication workflows with .netrc support and parameter validation, while maintaining clear documentation and release traceability. The work emphasized maintainability, automation readiness, and robust, testable software design.
Concise monthly summary for 2025-04: Delivered System Test Framework (STF) support for lobster-cpptest, enabling automated validation with a valid scenario, file requirements, and a test case for valid C++ tests. Output is produced in LOBSTER interchange format with exit code 0 for valid input. This work improves testing reliability and CI automation for lobster-cpptest.

December 2024: Focused on configuration-driven improvements and release hygiene for the Lobster project. Implemented a YAML-based configuration migration for Lobster-cpptest to centralize parameter management and enable input-file specification via config files, reducing reliance on command-line arguments. Completed release housekeeping with a version bump to 0.9.22-dev and corresponding CHANGELOG/version metadata updates. These changes enhance reproducibility, automation readiness, and release traceability across the Lobster toolchain.
