May 1, 2026May 2026 monthly summary for ministryofjustice/laa-landing-page: Key features delivered and major bugs fixed: - Bug fix: Safe deletion of Entra user and associated profiles. Ensured all related profiles are cleared before Entra user deletion to prevent stale references and Hibernate exceptions. Tests updated to use mutable collections to avoid immutability-related issues; added integration tests around polling. - Feature: User creation flow progress persistence. Persisted creation progress in session (createUserFlowStage) so users can resume where they left off; UI updated to reflect saved state and return to the current stage. - Feature: Role assignment restrictions and validation improvements. Restricted who can assign the Security Response role (no self-assignments by Internal User Managers or Security Response users); added a database migration, UI validation for role assignments, updated DTOs, and expanded test coverage (unit/integration/Playwright). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Reduced risk of runtime errors and data inconsistencies in user deletion workflows, improved security governance around role assignments, and enhanced user experience for multi-step flows. - Strengthened test coverage across unit, integration, and UI (Playwright) with migration and validation coverage, improving maintainability and confidence in deployments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Hibernate, Entra integration, and direct profile management during deletion - Session-based UX persistence and state management - UI enhancements and validation flows for role management - Database migrations, DTO evolution, and extensive automated tests (unit/integration/Playwright) - Code quality disciplines (checkstyle, tests)
