Ila Patel enhanced the hmcts/ccd-data-store-api repository by improving data-store API robustness and test reliability over a two-month period. She addressed null value handling and ACL-compliant field restoration, ensuring data integrity and security were maintained during conditional field operations. Ila strengthened the CI and integration testing infrastructure, using Java and Testcontainers to reduce flaky tests and accelerate feedback cycles. She also refactored the testing suite to align with SonarQube standards, replacing deprecated APIs and clarifying error handling. These efforts improved code quality, reduced technical debt, and made the codebase more maintainable for future backend development and integration testing.
