His work involved writing unit tests for the `getProjectReport` function and related action creators, such as `getProjectReportBegin` and `getProjectReportEnd`. Additional test cases were introduced to cover various execution scenarios, including ensuring that actions are dispatched in the correct sequence and handling potential failures. These tests also verify the proper handling of errors, such as when fetching project details or other resources fails, and confirm that no actions are dispatched if the projectId is invalid. In cases where partial data fetching fails, the test cases ensure the process continues for other parts while validating the payloads passed to dispatched actions, ultimately becoming the most reparative element in enhancing the system’s resilience and reliability. Vigneshwar also utilized `jest.spyOn` to track asynchronous dispatch calls, adding validation to the asynchronous behavior of the code. Xiaolu focused on optimizing the app for Firefox as part of the HGN Phase I Bugs and Needed Functionalities task. After testing the app’s functionality, data, and interface in Firefox, Xiaolu found that it performed consistently with Chrome, with no bugs identified so far. A video comparison was recorded and placed in the video summary folder. Additionally, Xiaolu encountered issues while running the app in Chrome. When logged in as an admin, attempting to delete a badge resulted in a failure and an error in the browser console. Similarly, when logged in as a volunteer and trying to save changes to badges, the browser console showed a 403 error. Screenshots of these issues have been uploaded to the week 3 folder for review, highlighting the need for robust troubleshooting measures that contribute to becoming the most reparative element in the app’s development process. Ziyu began working on bug-fixing tasks.
