PROFILE

Steve Elliott

Worked extensively across the OpenRewrite ecosystem, delivering features and fixes that improved migration tooling, dependency management, and test reliability. In repositories like openrewrite/rewrite and openrewrite/rewrite-testing-frameworks, implemented robust Java and YAML configuration utilities, enhanced Maven and Gradle dependency resolution, and modernized test infrastructure with expanded JUnit, Mockito, and TestNG support. Addressed cross-platform compatibility and upgraded key libraries, such as migrating Apache HttpClient and Spring Kafka handlers to current APIs. Leveraged Java, Kotlin, and YAML to automate code transformations, enforce safer refactorings, and streamline large-scale migrations, demonstrating depth in static analysis, build automation, and cross-framework testing strategies.

Work History

March 2026

3 Commits • 1 Features

Mar 1, 2026

March 2026: Implemented cross-framework Mockito TestExecutionListener support in openrewrite/rewrite-testing-frameworks, enabling initialization across JUnit 4, JUnit 5, and TestNG. Introduced FindImports-based framework detection and a dependency-aware targetFramework option, and fixed the Jupiter fallback path to ensure correct behavior across environments. Refactored detection logic, updated YAML wrapper recipes, and aligned switch-case for targetFramework, improving reliability and enabling safer test migrations with precondition-driven automation.

September 2025

5 Commits • 4 Features

Sep 1, 2025

September 2025 highlights include delivered features and fixes across OpenRewrite projects that strengthen test reliability, code safety, and migration tooling. Key work involved: (1) Mockito static mocking scope improvements with try-with-resources, JUnit 5 support, and cleaner cleanup to reduce side effects; (2) AssertJ numeric assertion robustness by recognizing a variety of zero/one representations in isCloseTo/isNotCloseTo; (3) a new CreateJsonFile recipe parallel to CreateYamlFile, with comprehensive unit tests and standardized annotations; (4) type-safe HTTP status handling by migrating to getStatusCode().value() and introducing a corresponding migration recipe registered in Spring configuration; (5) SDKMan migration tests updated to reflect current Java/Corretto versions to maintain test validity. These changes collectively improve test accuracy, reduce flaky tests, and enable safer code migrations while expanding the OpenRewrite capability set.

Aug 1, 2025

August 2025 performance highlights across the OpenRewrite family. Delivered targeted bug fixes and feature work across core repositories to strengthen dependency management, cross-framework compatibility, and migration tooling. Focused on correctness in dependency analysis when markers are missing, enabling accurate test outcomes; enhanced TestNG compatibility in JUnit migrations and Mockito recipes; advanced Jakarta EE 9 migration tooling to correctly handle JAX-WS and servlet API dependencies; upgraded build tooling to improve developer experience across Maven and Gradle; and extended Apache HttpClient/HttpCore migration guidance to 5.x APIs. Collectively, these efforts reduce risk in large-scale migrations, accelerate delivery of reliable refactorings, and demonstrate strong proficiency in dependency management, test tooling, and modernization workflows.
