10 09 2024 Meeting

Updates:

• We are now using 4bbakers repository for both manual and automated here: https://github.com/4bbakers/redcap_rsvc/tree/v14.5.5

Recommendation:

RCTF Library or Feature Tests?

• Pick a focus - do you want to help on the RCTF library (JavaScript software) OR Feature Tests (Gherkin) ?

• If you want to help on RCTF, coming to these ATS meetings makes sense.

• If you want to help make feature tests pass, going to the RSVC meetings might make more sense than ATS

• One is not better than the other, just different focus

• ATS will be focusing on RCTF library in these meetings because I think that should be the job of this committee moving forward

• Does not mean that this group never looks at the Feature Tests - we do by necessity, but this committee's job won't be to develop them anymore

• Our job instead is to improve robustness, fix bugs, address concerns of RCTF library

• Want to work on the software AND Feature Tests? No problem. Attend both meetings.

Reason?

• Feature Tests for both manual and automated now lives here: https://github.com/4bbakers/redcap_rsvc/tree/v14.5.5

1. No reason for me to cover issues with feature tests in this meeting if RSVC is already covering the issues during that meeting
2. We added package.json to the manual feature tests, so now we can run them in automated environment
3. No more divergence possible because single source of truth 4 .Built-in committee oversight of feature tests because manual test IS also automated test

RCTF Action Items:

[x] - Identify what and where abstractions are for the step definitions

[x] - Develop a comprehensive table that maps what the abstraction looks like (i.e. button | link | checkbox) ( click | type | etc)

Step Definition Mapping

[ ] - Write unit tests for all Step Definitions. Focus on high priority and high usage.

[ ] - Create tickets to specifically and iteratively abstract the behavior for Step Definitions in question
