February 2026 (repository: olcaytaner/410-Exam) delivered three core features enhancing test automation, consistency, and debugging ease. Key outcomes include: Headless Testing Enhancements with CI-ready UI tests, a headless-safe dialog method, and automated testing enabled by removing a disabled annotation; Documentation and File Format Standardization with standardized CFG/regex formats and README headers across CFG, DFA, NFA, and TM; Test Case Sorting for Debugging introducing input-length based sorting to guide students from simpler to more complex cases. Together, these changes improve CI reliability, onboarding, and maintainability while reducing debugging time.

August 2025 deliverables for olcaytaner/410-Exam focused on establishing robust automata foundations, improved UI/UX, and stronger build/test workflows. Key architectural additions (Symbol and State classes) enable clean formal language representations and flexible automata modeling. CFG support with parsing and UI integration was added, and the test coverage for UI, automata, and various automata families (NFA, DFA, PDA, TM) was expanded. Input handling and validation were refactored for reliability. Visualization was improved with dynamic graph rendering and GraalVM JS integration. User experience enhancements, recent-files tracking, test automation, and background test execution were implemented, complemented by build enhancements (SplashScreen, Maven plugins) and distribution packaging.
