February 2025 monthly summary: Delivered foundational schema and process improvements to support reliable data flows and scalable evolution of the AODP platform. Key features delivered include an Entity/Schema Refactor and Renaming to align with the latest AODP schema, and a Process Method Refactor and Stabilization to remove obsolete tests and optimize processing after database changes. DB Connectivity Configuration and Connection String Naming was implemented to source DB connections from Azure storage and standardize connection string naming, reducing environment drift. AWARD-218 Test Coverage Improvements expanded test scaffolding and coverage for critical components, boosting release confidence. Qualification Eligibility and History Enhancements added comprehensive discussion history with test coverage, improving traceability and eligibility decision accuracy. In addition, critical bugs were fixed, including configuration formatting and sourcing OcpApimSubscriptionKey from Azure storage, and a foreign key integrity fix between Qualifications and AwardingOrganisation in the API layer. These efforts reduced post-merge defects, improved maintainability, and positioned the team for faster delivery of upcoming eligibility features.
