September 2025 highlights: Delivered major CI/CD and test-automation enhancements across Milo, Unity, and Express-Milo to accelerate feedback and improve reliability of Nala tests. Key features include a matrix-based multi-browser test execution, enhanced test reporting with a blob reporter, and enforcing non-zero exit codes for final test failures to ensure pipeline visibility. Parallelized browser tests across Chromium and Firefox, with the ability to target a specific browser via script arguments to optimize resources. Implemented a GitHub Actions workflow to automate end-to-end Nala UI tests, including Node.js setup, repository checkout, test execution via a shell script, and environment configuration for branches and secrets. Fixed feature-branch URLs by switching to the AEM live environment, and maintained CI health by temporarily disabling an unstable Firefox pdf-editor test with added logging for traceability. Collectively these changes reduce feedback time, improve cross-browser coverage, and strengthen deployment confidence across the Milo and Express-Milo ecosystems.

February 2025 — Milo repo delivered a CI Cache Purging Mechanism for PR tests to improve CI reliability and test accuracy. The feature ensures a cache purge is performed before NALA tests by updating pr.run.sh to call the admin.hlx.page/code purge API and adding a 10-second delay to guarantee purge completion prior to test execution. This change is tracked in commit cf2560eb26ced66c49fedec1f7d6b64040cc34d1. No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact: reduces cache-related test flakiness, accelerates PR feedback, and strengthens release readiness. Technologies demonstrated: shell scripting, REST API integration, CI/CD automation, and version control discipline.
