I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected as a GSoC 2025 contributor. It’s a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

I’m Brian Patrick Bahati, also known as @tasksolver, and this thread will serve as the space for updates related to the project “Improving E2E QA Tests.” I’m looking forward to collaborating with the entire community, and I’m especially grateful to be working under the mentorship of @Gita_cliff.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to tag me — I’ll do my best to respond promptly.

Project Approach
Phase 1: Assessment and Planning
● Conduct a comprehensive audit of the current E2E test coverage.
● Identify untested critical functionalities.
● Define key testing scenarios and user workflows to be covered.
● Establish a roadmap and timeline for test implementation.

Phase 2: Test Development
● Write new E2E test cases focusing on uncovered functionalities.
● Ensure tests cover user authentication, data management, and critical UI interactions.
● Implement best practices to maintain test stability and reliability.

Phase 3: Test Optimization
● Refactor existing test cases to improve efficiency.
● Optimize test execution time to prevent slowdowns in development workflows.
● Ensure tests are resilient against minor UI changes.

Phase 4: Integration into CI/CD
● Configure automated test execution in the CI/CD pipeline.
● Set up reporting mechanisms to track test results and failures
● Implement alerts for failed tests to ensure quick resolution.

Phase 5: Documentation and Knowledge Sharing
● Develop comprehensive documentation on test implementation and maintenance.
● Conduct training sessions for developers and QA engineers.
● Establish guidelines for maintaining high test coverage moving forward.

Expected Outcomes
● Increased E2E test coverage from 30% to at least 99%.
● Reduced risk of undetected critical bugs.
● Faster detection and resolution of issues before deployment.
● Improved confidence in system reliability and stability.
● Sustainable testing strategy integrated into the development lifecycle
