April 2026: Improved fboss build stability for hardware testing by resolving a critical linking issue in multi_switch_agent_hw_test. The fix involved adding missing SAI SDK dependencies to ensure successful builds and reliable test execution across CI/local environments. This work removed a blocker in the hardware-test pipeline and aligns with the changes in PR 1022 (commit e4deffb932cebca171e11cedafba52de55ad6562).

February 2026 monthly summary for facebook/fboss focusing on performance validation workflows. Key features delivered: - Benchmark: Continuous Sub-Tests — enabled consecutive sub-tests to run in a single benchmark run, expanding test coverage and efficiency beyond individual sub-tests. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed a bug that prevented the benchmark from running continuous sub-tests, enabling reliable multi-sub-test execution within a single run. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Accelerated benchmarking throughput and reliability, reducing manual orchestration and enabling faster validation cycles. - Validated multi-sub-test execution in benchmarks, improving confidence in performance characteristics for release readiness. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C++ code changes, benchmarking workflow engineering, pre-commit linting, CI/test planning, and cross-team collaboration for PR reviews. Business value: - Faster feedback on performance scenarios, enabling quicker optimization decisions and more robust performance guarantees for fboss deployments.
