February 2026 delivered two high-impact service enhancements with clear business value and robust test coverage. In hmcts/am-org-role-mapping-service, we delivered Judicial Office Holders mappings for the IAC feature, including new constants, data scripts, and comprehensive unit and integration tests to ensure correct JOH associations within IAC workflows. In hmcts/rd-professional-api, we introduced a dedicated mapping utility and refactored organisation_type to organisation_profile_id mappings, improving data retrieval and maintainability across the platform. The month also included stabilization work for the IAC-related test suite, with IAC Judicial integration tests added and a temporary workaround for Appointment Expired tests to maintain CI stability. Overall, these changes reduce risk in production flows, accelerate future feature delivery, and demonstrate strong test automation, code quality, and maintainability across critical services.
