Working on Flights funnel in Android app to make user have confidence and ease while booking with us
# Role
An individual contributor.
#Accomplishment
1. Developed various features in Flights funnel.
2. We incorporated the build of the flights standalone app into the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring that the app compiled successfully 100% of the time. This eliminated the need for development efforts to resolve the build failures that occurred previously. It saved one man day per week.
3. Resolved a bug with the unit test configuration, resulting in a 100% improvement in test coverage.
4. Developers were facing configuration cache issues in back to back running the same integration tests locally. Fixed the gradle to save teammates time in disabling the cache and enabling it before pushing their changes. Less error prone now.
5. Fixed the way of writing Flow Integration Tests(FITs) and mocking network calls. These improvements resulted in a significant decrease in runtime for FITs. Specifically, the runtime decreased from 6 minutes to 23 seconds in the local environment and from 9 minutes to 4 minutes in the CI/CD pipeline.
6. During my analysis of the UI test performance, I discovered that certain tests were not running in the CI/CD pipeline. After fixing the naming convention of the tests and package structure, we were able to increase test coverage by 5%.
7. After analysing the issues raised by customer support, I was able to create several user experience improvement stories and added additional logs to improve the speed and effectiveness of issue analysis.
