Role in this project:Backend Developer & Test Automation Engineer
Backend Developer & Test Automation EngineerContributions:12 commits in 1 month
Contributions summary:Filipe primarily focused on refactoring and adding tests for the SpiffWorkflow engine, a workflow engine implemented in pure Python. Their work included refactoring existing tests within the `WorkflowTest.py` file to prepare for new test cases. They added and renamed tests, and also worked on implementing a "step by step" test to simulate user interaction. Furthermore, they contributed to the creation of a serializer class for persisting and deserializing job instances, along with corresponding testing.
