Over 21 months, contributed to OpenRailAssociation/osrd by building and refining robust end-to-end testing infrastructure, focusing on reliability, maintainability, and rapid feedback for continuous integration. Leveraged TypeScript, Playwright, and React to modernize test suites, implement page object models, and introduce data-driven fixtures that improved test isolation and reduced flakiness. Enhanced UI workflows and simulation features by integrating comprehensive test coverage, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and addressing critical bugs in scheduling and data loading. Refactored code for clarity and consistency, updated documentation for onboarding, and ensured cross-browser stability, resulting in faster, safer releases and higher confidence in complex operational scenarios.
June 2026 (OpenRailAssociation/osrd): Focused on stabilizing end-to-end tests and enabling faster, more reliable feedback for CI and local development. Delivered a comprehensive set of E2E reliability improvements, infrastructure validation during scenario creation, and robust resource management for API contexts, complemented by targeted fixes to flaky train-scheduling tests and loading-state handling. These changes reduce test flakiness, prevent resource exhaustion, and accelerate iteration cycles, contributing to higher confidence in releases and deployments. Key changes include tuning Playwright actionTimeout for CI vs local runs, ensuring loading spinners disappear before actions, asserting selected infrastructure during scenario creation, reusing a single API request context with sequential exception handling, increasing timeouts for slow E2E tests, fixing train scheduling test identifiers, disposing of API contexts to prevent socket hang-ups, and extracting shared times-stops scenario setup into a fixture.
