Sep 1, 2025September 2025 (NHSDigital/manage-vaccinations-in-schools-testing) delivered a focused set of features and reliability improvements enabling a smooth transition into the new academic year cycle, alongside performance/CI enhancements and a cleanup pass to reduce maintenance risk. Key outcomes include project bootstrap and baseline setup, the introduction of new academic year changes, and substantial enhancements to performance/test configuration. End-to-end workflow capabilities were expanded with nurse journey, consent journey (STS), and a full workflow, complemented by JMeter artifact verification for easier auditing. Data processing stability improvements and readability/maintainability changes were implemented, along with a caching step to accelerate builds/tests and general quality improvements across the codebase. A thorough cleanup of legacy performance-test scripts and artifacts was performed to reduce maintenance overhead and risk.
