March 2025: Delivered end-to-end Confluence automated reporting integration for the testops-dashboard, enabling automated updates of Confluence pages from multiple reports with image uploads, attachment cleanup, and YAML-driven dynamic HTML generation. Introduced a dedicated confluence/ folder and updated module names and service-prefixed report types to support the integration. The work included three commits: 91ae0fbae62800ef9a228dcfe60c0e0da542b733 (Add Confluence API); 952bd8d041aa94d05316f5f18ef1c4fbc6441ad7 (modify dir structure); 8327dfd196567ca49fc6efba32d8d9bb4cac505c (module naming refactor). Business value: reduces manual reporting effort, improves documentation freshness and consistency, and accelerates time-to-value for Confluence-based dashboards. Tech notes: Confluence REST API usage, YAML-driven HTML generation, image/attachment handling, and modular refactor for maintainability.
