Hongtao Li developed and tested course deletion functionality for the ucsb-cs156-f24/proj-happycows-f24-09 repository, enabling administrators to remove courses through a RESTful DELETE endpoint in the CoursesController. Using Java, Spring Boot, and JUnit, he implemented comprehensive tests to ensure reliable deletion and proper handling of not-found cases, while refining UI messages for grammatical consistency. In addition, he improved front-end test coverage by relocating and enhancing ProfitsTable tests with JavaScript and React Testing Library, reducing UI regression risk and increasing data accuracy. His work demonstrated end-to-end capability in both backend API development and frontend testing within a maintainable workflow.

December 2024: Realigned ProfitsTable tests to improve UI reliability and data accuracy. Moved tests from PagedProfitsTable.test.js to ProfitsTable.test.js to validate headers, data fields, and user-facing profit rendering. Commit 85bd1c0cb8e6aec80ee1e0d93d33b7c8743d83fb fixed the right file and tightened coverage. This reduces UI regression risk and improves trust in profit data; demonstrated skills in front-end testing, test refactoring, and maintainable Git workflows.
