Romain Quetiez enhanced the Combodo/iTop repository over seven months by delivering features and fixes that improved compatibility, reliability, and maintainability. He refactored the OQL parser for PHP 8.x, resolved grammar ambiguities, and centralized document handling within the ORM layer, using PHP and Yacc/Bison to streamline parsing and document workflows. Romain expanded OQL query capabilities, strengthened unit testing with PHPUnit, and introduced sensitive data sanitization for API logging. He addressed XML processing edge cases by fixing quote-handling bugs and adding regression tests, ensuring robust XML assembly. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, code refactoring, and parser/compiler design.

July 2025 monthly wrap-up for Combodo/iTop: Stabilized XML assembly by addressing edge cases where attribute values contain quotes and by adding regression testing to prevent future regressions. Implemented a fix for XML assembly failures when a file name includes a quote, accompanied by a regression test in ModelFactoryTest. This work reduces deployment risk and improves XML data interchange reliability, directly supporting stable releases and smoother customer deployments.

June 2025 (Combodo/iTop): Delivered a critical bug fix to robustly handle file IDs containing quotes in icon handling and the iTop design compiler. The change ensures correct escaping for XPath literals, preventing erroneous references and compiler misbehavior across assets and design workflows. The fix is traceable to two commits and enhances overall stability for icon rendering and design compilation.

January 2025: Focused on strengthening test coverage and expanding OQL capabilities for iTop. Key outcomes include more robust unit tests for UserRights access control, and extended OQL evaluation to support NOT LIKE and NOT IN operators. These efforts reduce regression risk, improve reliability, and enable more expressive query usage in production.
