Thomas Parker developed automated UI tests for the Communication tab in the hmcts/sscs-tribunals-case-api repository, focusing on DWP and HMRC workflows such as raising new requests, replying to queries, reviewing replies, and deleting requests. Using Playwright and TypeScript, he designed end-to-end tests that validate the full communication lifecycle between caseworkers and the FTA. His work established a robust baseline for UI automation, improving regression coverage and enabling safer, faster releases by reducing the risk of UI regressions. The approach emphasized traceability through Git and close collaboration with workflow stakeholders, demonstrating depth in test design and automation engineering.

Month: 2025-09 — Key feature delivered: Automated UI tests for the Communication tab in hmcts/sscs-tribunals-case-api, covering DWP and HMRC workflows (raise new requests, reply to queries, review replies, delete requests) to validate end-to-end communication between caseworkers and the FTA. Major bugs fixed: none reported this period. Overall impact: strengthens regression coverage for the Communication tab, enabling faster, safer releases and reducing risk of UI regressions. Accomplishments: established a robust UI test baseline, improved traceability with a linked commit, and demonstrated end-to-end testing focus. Technologies/skills demonstrated: UI automation, end-to-end testing, test design, Git-based traceability, and collaboration with workflow stakeholders (DWP/HMRC).
