April 2026 monthly summary for HHS/simpler-grants-gov: Delivered major end-to-end form automation and test-traceability improvements, stabilized CI, and reinforced test reliability across key grant forms. Key features delivered included SF424A happy path automation, EPA Key Contacts happy path, and Supplemental Cover Sheet NEH Grants happy path. Test organization and traceability were strengthened by adding a shared happy path feature file and annotating 9 specs with feature references. Architecture and reliability were improved via refactoring fillForm to delegate navigation to openForm, establishing a single source of truth for navigation. Major bug fixes encompassed extensive failure-path fixes across Narrative Attachments, Project Abstract, Budget Narrative Attachment, EPA Key Contacts, CD511, Grants.gov Lobbying, and NEH Supplemental Cover Sheet to stabilize automated workflows in CI. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Playwright end-to-end automation, test orchestration in CI, waitForResponse usage, timeout tuning, test refactoring, and feature-reference annotation for improved traceability.
