Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for ProteoWizard/pwiz focused on strengthening test reliability and UI rendering fidelity. Key features delivered: (1) Automated UI tests: synchronization and screenshot reliability improvements to ensure graphs are ready before capture and to wait for UI updates before proceeding (commits ed58e078ae6ca093d43115ecb5fea484a0e0d247). (2) UI rendering improvements: border drawing fix for floating windows with height=1 and refactors clarifying clipping logic for rounded corners with transparency via CleanupBorder10/11 (commit 4e50b59bf70b3ae6488a2270e84ddd928d0887c5). Major bugs fixed: reduced intermittent test failures in UI-driven tests by adding explicit waits for calculator regression to appear and stabilizing screenshot capture paths (ed58e078ae6ca093d43115ecb5fea484a0e0d247; 070ef48aa75d9a16521240b82c73baf9136be6c4). Overall impact and accomplishments: higher CI stability, more deterministic UI test outcomes, and improved UI rendering fidelity across platforms, enabling faster iteration cycles and more reliable QA. Technologies/skills demonstrated: automated UI testing, functional test utilities and abstractions (AbstractFunctionalTest), test synchronization strategies, and targeted UI rendering refactors (CleanupBorder10/11).
