Concise monthly summary for 2025-03 focusing on MyPureCloud/genesys-spark: Key features delivered: - Accessibility Testing Checklist for GUX Segmented Control: Added a manual checklist detailing WCAG criteria and status to guide accessibility compliance for the gux-segmented-control component. This establishes a clear pass/fail framework and accelerates accessibility validation during development. Major bugs fixed: - Whitespace handling fix for dropdown option text and subtext: Trims whitespace to ensure accurate display and proper selection within the dropdown component, reducing UI inconsistency. - Copy-to-clipboard tooltip visibility bug fix: Adjusted SCSS to apply display properties only when visible, preventing unnecessary tooltip rendering. - Internationalization robustness: locale mapping and component-scoped i18n: Maps en-us to en and passes a component name to buildI18nForComponent for better i18n management in the time-zone beta component; includes minor docs updates. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened UI reliability and accessibility readiness across the key components (gux-segmented-control, dropdown, copy-to-clipboard, time-zone beta). - Reduced display/UI glitches and translation issues, enabling smoother global usage and faster QA cycles. - Demonstrated end-to-end impact from feature work to bug fixes with measurable commits, contributing to a more robust and accessible component library. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Accessibility testing practices and WCAG alignment - UI/UX stability via robust display logic (SCSS) and whitespace handling - Internationalization (i18n), locale mapping, and component-scoped i18n strategies - Code documentation and maintainability through clear commits
