Over a two-month period, contributed to the VNG-Realisatie/Softwarecatalogus repository by delivering three features focused on documentation, requirements management, and system architecture. Developed a tender documentation collection to standardize procurement materials and implemented ArchiMate import/export and reference architecture capabilities, integrating external systems and updating architecture diagrams. Enhanced documentation structure and quality using Markdown and PlantUML, supporting maintainability and external collaboration. In a subsequent release, aligned documentation and testing processes with AMEFF standards, introducing XML-based automated release verification and standardizing test configurations. The work emphasized process improvement, documentation modernization, and reliable release engineering, with no major bug fixes during this period.
