Andreas Steiger enhanced the maths/moodle-qtype_stack repository by developing and refining automated testing and symbolic computation features for the STACK Moodle question type. Over three months, he expanded test coverage for symbolic integration and additive constants, improved compatibility with wxMaxima, and addressed derivative simplification bugs to stabilize answer evaluation. His work involved refactoring answer tests across algebraic equivalence, lists, sets, and matrices, ensuring robust validation and clearer error reporting. Using JavaScript, PHP, and Maxima, Andreas updated documentation to guide developers on test failures and library mismatches, contributing to more reliable releases and maintainable workflows within the Moodle plugin ecosystem.
