REACTONAUTS’ SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This week, Reactonauts’ Team’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Masasa Thapelo (Software Engineer) and includes Changhao Li (Software Engineer), Jiangwei Shi (Full Stack Engineer), Jiyuan Xia (Software Engineer), Obeda Andrilalaina Velonjatovo (Front End Developer/Software Developer), Shengwei Peng (Software Engineer), Shihao Xiong (Software Engineer), Shiwani Rajagopalan (Software Engineer), Shrey Jain (Software Engineer), Vikram Badhan (Software Engineer), Wanting Xu (Software Engineer) and Yixiao Jiang (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be measuring much of the sustainable flow and yield of our construction, production, and maintenance processes. Changhao performed unit testing for textSearchbox.jsx and userSearchPanel.jsx. Jiangwei created unit tests for the Selectors component and TasksTable component. Additionally, he allocated extra time to develop tests for another vital module, contributing to the overall strength and stability of the project. Jiyuan completed PR #1641 and #640 and implemented changes, ensuring a smooth integration process. Masasa completed the creation of visualizations and enabled the table to contain links redirecting to the profiles of specific individuals displayed within it. Obeda continued working on the Add Project task and worked on the Delete Project. Shengwei focused on PR reviewing tasks, completing over 20 reviews. He identified issues in several PRs where insufficient details for testing steps posed during case reproduction. Shihao reorganized file structures and completed unit tests for DueDateTime.jsx, UserLinkLayout.jsx, and BadgeImage.jsx components. Shiwani completed the unit testing of the TagsSearch component and created four test cases. She also worked on a critical task related to the creation of a leaderboard feature for tracking individuals’ time off during the week. Additionally, she enhanced the dashboardHelper, which provides leaderboard data to the frontend by adding fields for time off and the current date. Shrey wrote unit test cases for two components, EffortBar.jsx and UserTableHeader.jsx, he considered all possible cases to ensure complete coverage of the code. Vikram configured the local frontend and backend environments and engaged in the review of six pull requests. In addition, he addressed an issue related to the non-functionality of the “90-hour in one week” badge within the HGN application. Wanting completed the final unit test task for ProjectTableHeader and initiated a new unit test task for AddWBS.jsx. Yixiao resolved issues with the TaskEditSuggestions.test.js file and submitted a pull request for this file. Yixiao also wrote tests for the actions.test.js file and completed testing for four of its functions. Look below for pictures of this work.

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), Hemsharavanan Bharathithasan (Full Stack Software Engineer), Jerry Ren (Full Stack Developer), Roberto Contreras (Software Developer) and Yao Wang (Software Engineer). The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be measuring much of the sustainable flow and yield of our construction, production, and maintenance processes. Bailey addressed a CSS issue for his colleague Yao. He resolved a text alignment problem in a modal by adjusting the container’s width to 100% and setting it to a flex display. He improved loading speeds and encountered a ‘400 Bad Request’ error while managing tasks in the user interface, specifically when resolving or removing tasks from the teams/tasks component. Additionally, he reviewed two pull requests, PR #1662 and PR #1403. Jerry addressed the auto dropoff bug within the X-hours in X-weeks streak feature. His primary efforts involved creating a Jest testing library-compatible test file to assess the functionality of the checkXHrsForXWeeks() function. Additionally, he addressed the specific bug at hand and also laid the groundwork for the streamlined creation of tests for other potential scenarios. Yao removed the text “(function under development)” beneath a blue square in the project interface. Following this, he implemented an “i” button for the blue block, improving user interaction and information accessibility. Yao also developed a new FAQ button, triggering a modal with relevant information upon clicking. Roberto examined Luis’ current branch and contributed to the setup of the backend route, addressing schema requirements for the database. Additionally, he identified an undefined userId problem in the frontend. Luis integrated the frontend and backend with assistance from Roberto. Upon integration, a discrepancy was identified in the correct transmission of user IDs. He resolved the issue by implementing Redux useSelector to retrieve the user ID and subsequently submit it to the backend. Luis also achieved the functionality to submit warnings to the user’s warnings array. Hemsharavanan reviewed and provided feedback on several PRs, he made improvements in test descriptions and parameter passing for TextSearchBox’s test suite to enhance clarity and maintainability. See the collage below for some of their work.
