March 2026 monthly summary for oat-sa/extension-tao-testqti. Focused on reliability, performance, and frontend optimization. Key outcomes include: (1) QTI test extension now disables concurrent test sessions to prevent conflicts and flaky test runs, aligning with AUT-4470. (2) Added a guard for invalid JSON data in json_encode to prevent downstream failures in syncSubmissionMode. (3) Implemented a JavaScript bundle build to improve frontend load performance and overall user experience. These efforts reduce runtime errors, improve load times, and strengthen CI/QA stability.

This month, the team delivered stability improvements for the Audio Recording feature and prepared data migration to version 1.3.3 in the oat-sa/extension-tao-itemqti-pci repository. Key focus was ensuring the recording attempt counter resets correctly when navigating between items during an active recording, proper increment on new recordings, and implementing a migration to correctly apply recordsAttempts state for version 1.3.3. These changes reduce recording errors, improve user experience during item navigation, and ensure forward compatibility with 1.3.3 deployments.

In August 2025, focused on stabilizing and expanding the Audio Recording workflow in oat-sa/extension-tao-itemqti-pci, delivering reliable state management improvements and a PCI migration to track recording attempts. The work reduced edge-case failures in resets and loading of recording state, and prepared the codebase for better analytics and testing coverage around recording attempts.

July 2025 monthly summary: Focused delivery on analytics-enabled recording flows, stability improvements, and cross-session reliability within oat-sa/extension-tao-itemqti-pci. Key features delivered include API enhancement for recording attempts analytics; major bugs fixed to restore stability and reliability across sessions; and lifecycle hardening to prevent incorrect counters. Overall impact: better user behavior visibility, more consistent recording interactions, and reduced risk of state loss. Technologies demonstrated: API design and response shaping, client-side state persistence across serialization/deserialization, and robust rollback strategies for JS changes.

2025-03 Monthly Summary for oat-sa/extension-tao-itemqti. Focused on dependency hygiene, stability, and maintainability. Key feature delivered: upgrade of tao-item-runner-qti to version 2.6.3 across the repository to leverage the latest features, fixes, and compatibility improvements. Implemented via updates to package.json and package-lock.json (commit 51b71edb24a734fe4ddad2e964cbe22492db05a6).
