Nov 1, 2025November 2025 performance summary for JesusFilm/core: Implemented reliability improvements for the testing framework and expanded end-to-end coverage, including Journeys, by upgrading Playwright and deploying test generation and healing agents. Introduced domain-based account verification for emails ending in @example.com using token-based verification. These changes reduce flaky e2e runs, increase feature coverage, and strengthen user verification flows, supporting faster releases with higher confidence. Key commits include d235ed385b523d9146d8dd1fb7282096d5d646a4 (fix: daily morning failing e2e tests and upgrade playwright add agents), ed9883c2db834404f92e49dee41134150a855b83 (test(journeys-e2e): add e2e test for journeys), and cf30a4c471b3bad99d6ce17debff6d703e38971f (fix: allow @example.com emails to verify with EXAMPLE_EMAIL_TOKEN).

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for JesusFilm/core: Key features delivered and reliability improvements in the test/monitoring stack. Implemented Trash All before journey creation to prevent Checkly size-limit failures, removed the pre-run trash script, and aligned end-to-end tests and monitoring scripts with the new cleanup workflow. Refactored monitoring tests to verify critical user flows (login and dashboard visibility) and shortened timeouts from 3 minutes to 1 minute to improve reliability and CI speed. These changes reduce flaky tests, expedite feedback, and enhance scalability of test execution as the product grows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: test automation optimization, end-to-end testing, cleanup workflow design, monitoring and CI efficiency, and related tooling evidenced by commit history.” ,

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 performance summary for JesusFilm/core: Delivered significant enhancements to the Journeys Admin end-to-end testing suite, improving test coverage, stability, and CI reliability. Key technical work included upgrading the Playwright test framework to enable full parallel execution, refactoring login procedures, and expanding coverage for card-level actions (image, video, response fields, buttons, spacers). Implemented a CI stability tweak by disabling fullyParallel to ensure sequential runs when needed. The changes were landed via two commits: 2cb727f5a4bcfa137da5c1adf81f7e914e6ebf3e and d02b221c22edcfa23cc0e2047435b41ceb9319fd.
