February 2025 monthly summary for keploy/keploy focusing on feature delivery and data observability. Completed templating system modernization by isolating templating from the replay service and integrating it into a dedicated Tools service, enabling multi-type data support and improved extraction for test-case generation and maintenance. Added test execution data observability by timestamping TestReport entries with CreatedAt for better tracking and organization.
