PROFILE
Benson Lam
Worked on the OpenLiberty/open-liberty repository, focusing on build stability, software identification, and asset management over a five-month period. Delivered updates to SWID tag metadata for Open Liberty 25.0.0 and 26.0.0 releases, improving licensing compliance and inventory accuracy using XML schema and versioning best practices. Enhanced build reproducibility by introducing explicit versioned JAR naming and configuring Infinispan to use TCP JGroups, reducing classpath ambiguity. Addressed test reliability by isolating flaky tests in Java and JUnit, maintaining CI stability without sacrificing coverage. Demonstrated strengths in build configuration, dependency management, and test automation, contributing to maintainable and auditable release processes.

Aug 1, 2025OpenLiberty/open-liberty — August 2025: Focus on test stability with minimal disruption to feature work. Key action: temporarily disable two flaky Infinispan session cache tests to prevent CI build failures in fat tests. Specifically, the @Test annotations for testConcurrentPutNewAttributesAndRemove and testRefreshInvalidation were commented out. Commit 7439fa04c33ed11ddef5c540a066cf6e4325c813.
