Anna Aurora contributed to the kartverket/backstage-plugin-risk-crypto-service repository by building a containerized SOPS smoke test infrastructure and expanding the CryptoController test suite. She established a dedicated Gradle module for smoke tests, integrated Docker and Testcontainers for reliable CI workflows, and improved environment variable security by consolidating SOPS_AGE_KEY handling. Using Kotlin and Java, Anna enhanced test coverage for encryption and decryption scenarios, introduced integration tests with MockK, and streamlined build automation. Her work reduced CI flakiness, improved test maintainability, and enabled local testing without pre-built images, demonstrating depth in backend development, configuration management, and automated testing practices.

March 2025 monthly summary for kartverket/backstage-plugin-risk-crypto-service. Focused on delivering a robust, CI-friendly SOPS testing workflow and tightening security configuration for smoke tests, driving reliability, faster feedback, and clearer maintainability. Key features delivered: - SOPS Smoke Test Infrastructure and Docker/Test Execution: Established a containerized smoke-test workflow with a dedicated Gradle module, improved Docker readiness checks, enabled local testing without pre-built images, refined Testcontainers usage, and enhanced Docker build/IO handling for CI reliability. - SOPS_AGE_KEY Environment Variable Management for Smoke Tests: Consolidated handling of SOPS_AGE_KEY by removing insecure defaults, migrating configuration to environment variables and CI workflows, and ensuring tests run with explicit, secure key configuration. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed and stabilized the SOPS smoke test (adjusted assertions, improved stderr handling after waitFor, and updated Testcontainers). - Upgraded dependencies and refined image-building logic: Testcontainers to 1.20.6 with a version variable, early return in buildDockerIfNeeded when an image already exists, and removal of unnecessary print statements in container tests. - Removed insecure defaults and moved SOPS_AGE_KEY to a secure environment variable setup; eliminated dummy values after verification. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved reliability and speed of SOPS-related testing, enabling local testability without pre-built images and more deterministic CI outcomes. - Strengthened security posture by eliminating dummy keys and anchoring configuration in environment variables and CI workflows. - Reduced CI flakiness through better IO handling, synchronization, and clearer test logic, accelerating feedback for risk-crypto-service changes. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Gradle-based test automation, Docker, Testcontainers, and containerized CI workflows. - Environment variable security management and CI/CD configuration. - Java/Kotlin test patterns, robust assertions, and build optimization for test reliability.
