Ashley de Noronha delivered a key feature for the hmcts/hmc-cft-hearing-service repository by integrating Functional Test Automation with a new charts infrastructure. This work involved reconfiguring automation to support updated Helm chart versions and adjusting configuration values for the service bus and adapters. Ashley refactored test scenarios using Groovy and YAML to ensure compatibility with the new setup, focusing on improving test environment stability and accuracy. The changes enhanced the CI/CD feedback loop, reducing flakiness and release risk. This project demonstrated depth in backend development, configuration management, and test automation, aligning infrastructure changes with evolving testing requirements for the service.
