Kasia Rumanowska contributed to the canonical/maas-ui repository by building and enhancing core UI features and workflows over seven months. She developed systems for rack and controller management, unified table components for consistent data handling, and modernized scripts management to streamline deployment processes. Kasia refactored end-to-end tests from Cypress to Cucumber, adopting behavior-driven development to improve test reliability and maintainability. Working primarily with React, TypeScript, and JavaScript, she focused on scalable front-end architecture and robust test automation. Her work reduced manual operational overhead, improved UI consistency, and enabled faster, more reliable releases through clear code structure and comprehensive testing.
February 2026 (2026-02) — Canonical Maas-ui: Two high-impact features were delivered to strengthen deployment workflow, test quality, and overall product reliability. Scripts Management Enhancements modernized the scripts lifecycle with redesigned menu, new routes and components for commissioning/testing scripts, and a deployment scripts settings table to manage deployment scripts alongside existing workflows. Testing Framework Modernization migrated Cypress end-to-end tests to Cucumber across multiple components, improving readability, maintainability, and test coverage. These changes reduce deployment friction, lower release risk, and improve collaboration through clear traceability to MAASENG tickets.

January 2026 - canonical/maas-ui: Delivered two feature improvements with testing and UX impact. Refactored the test suite to Cucumber for behavior-driven development and added feature files/step definitions for Footer and Images List, improving test reliability and coverage. Implemented UX improvements for TestMetrics and removed the TestMetrics component, with streamlined access to commissioning details via links and improved NodeTestsTable metrics visibility. No major defects fixed this month. These changes reduce maintenance overhead and accelerate future releases, delivering business value through faster, more reliable testing and clearer metrics. Technologies demonstrated include Cypress-to-Cucumber migration, BDD, and UI/metrics presentation improvements.

December 2025 – Delivered a unified table experience in canonical/maas-ui by adopting GenericTable across VMsTable, VirshTable, and NodeTestsTable. This refactor replaces specialized table components, standardizing sorting, data handling, and UI behavior to improve consistency and maintainability for data-heavy UI. Three refactor commits (ff0ffc2ed279b8954714296dbc1cb8cba7c05811; fabac6b35b77acbf3fe933893f01bd297700a57f; b00fbc72da8c9a8f0cc9f2d50f3cfc32b3fd5ef9) implement the changes, tied to MAASENG-5273/MAASENG-5685/MAASENG-5672; co-authored by Nick De Villiers. Business impact: enhanced UI consistency reduces cognitive load for users, accelerates future UI work, and lowers maintenance costs. Technical impact: clear abstraction via GenericTable, safer data handling, improved testability, and traceable commits.

In 2025-11, delivered key enhancements to the canonical/maas-ui rack controller management flow. Added a new RemoveControllers form for racks, along with comprehensive tests, and refactored the ControllerListTable into a GenericTable to enable row selection and batch operations. This work reduces manual admin time, improves reliability of controller removal, and sets a scalable pattern for future UI table components.

October 2025 monthly summary focusing on delivering scalable MAAS UI improvements and provisioning workflows. Implemented a dedicated Rack Management System with a route, UI components for listing and interacting with racks, and CRUD operations, complemented by enhanced tests to ensure reliability. Added MAAS UI Controller Provisioning workflow enabling controller registration with a guided one-touch provisioning form and bootstrap token generation. These efforts improve asset visibility, streamline onboarding, and reduce manual operational overhead.
