Yao addressed a new bug by removing the text “(function under development)” beneath the blue square and initiated the integration of a modifiable “i” button on the page. After a thorough code review, he eliminated the problematic text and implemented the button. Tuan completed unit testing for WbsTable.jsx and InfringementsViz.jsx, crafting eight test cases for WbsTable and ensuring correct rendering, ID truncation and icon display. In InfringementsViz, Tuan verified error-free rendering, the presence of the graph display button, and modal behavior, ensuring proper functionality on button clicks. Roberto addressed an intangible time issue related to large decimal values, implementing rounding measures and correcting database entries. He also provided feedback on assigned pull requests, addressing mapping team locations and personal max hours duplicate issues. Focusing on the user profile page modal, Roberto introduced an asynchronous approach to mitigate data mix-up during page refresh after saving changes. Luis finished the warning component that will be displayed under every user. He added 8 icons and text to display what each icon represents, and imported a bootstrap component which would render a hover component. This software will be used to objectively track all our open source creations applying nature as our teacher. See the collage below for their work.
