This week, Reactonauts’ Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Carl Bebl (Software Developer) and includes Jiangwei Shi (Full Stack Engineer), Jiyuan Xia (Software Engineer), Obeda Velonjatovo (Front End Developer/Software Developer), Ramya Ramasamy (Full Stack Developer), Shantanu Kumar (Full Stack Software Developer), Shihao Xiong (Software Engineer), Shivansh Sharma (Software Developer), Shiwani Rajagopalan (Software Engineer), Shrey Jain (Software Engineer), Vikram Badhan (Software Engineer), Wanting Xu (Software Engineer), Yixiao Jiang (Software Engineer) and Zuhang Xu (Software Engineer). Shantanu completed the creation of test cases for the NewModal and Pie Chart components, subsequently initiating a pull request for review. Zuhang Xu reviewed feedback from the previous Pull Request. Yixiao focused on render tests, integration tests, Redux tests, and edge case analysis. Jiangwei concentrated on developing unit tests for the ProjectTable component. Vikram configured the local frontend and backend environments and engaged in the review of seven pull requests, namely, #1492, #1528, #1530, #1560, #1559, #1558, and #1556. Shivansh addressed a critical bug that allowed a user to delete a team or project without the required permissions, possibly stemming from a security gap within the user’s profile during these deletion attempts. Wanting completed task #437 by adding a copy icon to the Weekly Summaries Reports and subsequently submitted a pull request (PR) for the task. She also resolved task #401, fixing the X hours in X weeks streak badges for accurate user achievement display. Shiwani focused on writing unit tests for the BadgeDevelopmentTable component, creating mock data and formulating eight test cases to ensure proper rendering, functionality of tooltips, correct display of badge details, and the handling of buttons and checkmarks. She submitted PR#1547 for a testing review. Carl concentrated on refining the modification of the suggestion modal, limiting it to email modifications, and initiated an issue on the reordering of suggestion options. He participated in peer review meetings with the Reactonauts team, providing valuable feedback on multiple pull requests, and addressing issues #1528, #1529, #1530, #1532, #1540, #1541, #1545, and #1548. Jiyuan reviewed 5 PRs and maintained code quality. Shihao reviewed and approved PR#1545, assigned critical unit test tasks, and raised significant PRs #1540 and #1556.

SKYE’S SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This week, Skye’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Luis Arevalo (Front End Developer) and includes Bailey Mejia (Software Engineer), Fan Yang (Software Engineer), Jerry Ren (Full Stack Developer), Roberto Contreras (Software Developer) and Tuan Dinh (Software Engineer). Fan enhanced the functionality of the software by addressing a critical issue in pull request (PR) #1537, which involved fixing letters with accents and their interaction with the search feature. Tuan authored Unit Tests for TeamsReportCharts.jsx, TeamsReportLogs.jsx, and UserLoginPrivileges.jsx components. Bailey prepared for the loading task section speed, submitted a pull request (PR) for a new personal max badge and resolved a delay in badge assignment. Jerry addressed issues related to undefined values in `changeBadgeCount()`. He resolved the problem by modifying the argument to `badgeCollection[i].count`, ensuring the proper removal of the last badge earned in a streak. Jerry also identified and corrected an inconsistency in the mongoose aggregate function, ensuring the correct sorting of streak badges by weeks and total hours. Roberto tackled the time zone API issue, merging a pull request for the Ukraine time zone problem. He addressed multiple decimal points in intangible time entry hours using the `toFixed(2)` function. Luis addressed a bug and generated a pull request (PR) to incorporate functionality for adding users to projects and granting administrators permission to remove users from projects. He shifted focus to a new feature enabling Jae to monitor the number of warnings issued to users. Luis discussed the details of the features with Jae and started building a part of the project using the Figma design he made. See the collage below for their work.
