EPIC 6: AUGUST
Selenium Legacy Tests Comes To an End With a Recorded Coverage of 100%
I found myself 2 days late to update my thread according to my structured plan however, for the past two days my hands were dirty looking into the five tests that were still ignored in master branch and finally they were made back to life 
.
All the selenium legacy tests in openmrs-distro-refernceapplication master are automating their respective functionality on every PR that is triggered and on every merge that is made. This is a good milestone for OpenMRS community, in addition to the new E2E workflow tests that are currently being developed by the QA contributors our 2.x RefApp will have a minimal maintenance burden since these tests will do the work of automating 2.x RefApp functionality behind the seen and we shall be tracking their status on our QA-Dashboard.This is amazing !!
A word of thanks to our contributors who have worked tirelessly to see the team strikes the greatest % a team can ever achieve. Great work deserves appreciation cc: @sharif @insookwa @gracebish @irenyak1 @achilep @mherman22 @jwnasambu
Eyes now on E2E Workflow tests coverage for 2.x and 3.x RefApp !
Am putting my focus on increasing new workflow coverage for 2.x RefApp to make sure that the uncovered critical functionalities/features of the Reference Application are put under automation. We already have three developed E2E workflow tests that are running in qaframework repo and more workflows are soon joining the master branch. As a team we are looking at covering the remaining 2.x RefApp functionalities/features so that we support the community in maintaining 2.x RefApp and focus our attention on 3.x RefApp development with ease.
Besides increasing E2E workflow tests for 2.x RefApp, am also looking at how the team will support E2E workflows for 3.x RefApp to see that both projects are taking place for Reference Application.
New members joining the QA squad !
We are grateful for the new members joining the squad and getting started with the technical work. Besides providing membership to them, I and @sharif are providing technical support to get them acquainted with the technical work. Glad to see @mherman22 @jonathan @kmuwanga @pasindur2 @ndacyayisenga @jnsereko and others picking up tickets on our QA-Kanban-board.
Thanks to @jayasanka for laying out a good ground for E2E Automated tests for 3.X RefApp and even after the GSoC program has continued supporting the project. I have just learnt of recent of his mentor ship is providing to those getting started with 3.x Automated tests. This is really a good thing, thanks and keep the fire burning 
. Will be glad to create tickets for 3.x RefApp and avail them on the Q-Kanban Board so that contributors pick them up and work on them.
Learning skills from other fellows !
Attending the PM calls led by @herbert24 has not only helped me get to know what other teams/squads are working on but also enabled me acquire skills from other collegues in how they make their things done. Glad to be travelling with @sharif @hadijah315 @suruchi @jwnasambu and others who are a key element in my open source development growth since the journey began. Learning how to collaborate with others is helping me grow each single day in my journey.
Mentors deserves appreciation !
Am grateful 
to be moving along with @dkayiwa @ibacher @mksd @bistenes @grace @jennifer @janflowers and their contribution in my journey is indeed a blessing to me and to the community. Am always lifted up by these mentors whenever am blocked and this keeps me moving and pressing forward → in my journey. Each of them has lessons to learn from and a collection of all is what am aiming to become a life time mentor.
Summary of the technical and non-technical work done:
-
Developed E2E workflow test : Inpatient encounter.
-
Cleared the selenium legacy tests that were still ignored in master striking the percentage to 100%.
-
Provided support to @jayasanka to ensure his GSoC project comes to success
. -
Updated the QA Technical wiki-page with the steps of running locally automated tests for 2.x RefApp, 3.x RefApp, and Dictionary Manager.

I and @christine developed Getting Started Guide with QA and soon to launch it out to the documentation team to carry on the next step. Thanks to @gracebish @jennifer and the team for providing guidance in documentation, this is another skill have acquired along the way and will look for ways to improve it.

Provided mentor ship to team/squad members and this will continue through out the fellowship journey and even beyond !
First half of September will focus on: -
Increasing E2E workflow tests coverage both for 2.x and 3.x RefApp.
-
Set up Coveralls to work with Module RefApp repo: RATEST-196
-
Putting my hands dirty with Platform core tests. This sounds interesting and have already got a membership in Platform Team/Squad. cc: @tendomart @dkayiwa

Reflecting on my fellowship plan to plot well the ladders I need to climb to strike my target goal in the program.
Every day am driven by the fact that a single line of code saves millions of lives around the globe and this keeps me witting more lines of code to have lives around the world saved
