Hugh Jackson enhanced the DEFRA/apha-apps-perms-move-animal-ui repository by implementing an automated User Acceptance Testing trigger using GitHub Actions and YAML workflows, ensuring that UAT tests run automatically after each publish event. This approach provided earlier feedback on release quality and reduced post-release risk by surfacing issues directly in the CI pipeline. In addition, Hugh consolidated and expanded the project’s documentation, updating the README with a clarified service name, an architecture diagram, and a detailed service description written in Markdown. His work improved CI/CD discipline, streamlined onboarding, and increased maintainability, demonstrating depth in automation, documentation, and collaborative development practices.

November 2024: Implemented an automated UAT trigger after Publish for the DEFRA/apha-apps-perms-move-animal-ui repository, enhancing release validation and early issue detection. This involved adding a GitHub Actions workflow (journey-tests.yaml) to run UAT tests post-publish; the UAT step fails if tests fail, signaling issues earlier and increasing release confidence. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: faster feedback, reduced post-release risk, and stronger CI/CD discipline. Technologies demonstrated: GitHub Actions, YAML workflows, test orchestration, CI/CD automation, collaboration with QA.
