5 minSecurity Question
Craig McNally
  • Github alerts when there are known vulnerabilities in a repository... In some cases these have gone ignored for quite some time.
    • Should the TC mandate that these be addressed in a "timely" manner? 
    • Leave it up to the security team to decide on a case-by-case basis?
  • Craig McNally will raise for discussion at the next Security Team meeting (Friday)
    • Review and ensure JIRAs exist for all existing vulnerabilities reported by github
    • Triage/prioritize each and assign to teams as needed.
    • Investigate how to manage this better going forward - is there some automated way to get these into JIRA?
10 minUI Testing

Mike Gorrell

Discuss the need for investigation/review of our UI testing strategy and recommendations/requirements based on current tech/framework and state of coverage, level of effort, etc.

  • Broadly, there are two types of UI tests: integration tests (full-stack) that operate against a production UI build backed by a live backend, and functional or unit tests (UI-only) that operate against a mocked backend.
    • integration tests are written in NightmareJS; it is not currently maintained and uses an outdated version of the Electron browser
    • unit tests are mostly written in BigTest v1, a framework that is now officially deprecated
  • We have substantial investment in both Nightmare and BigTest, but given their lack of maintenance, we are a bit stuck. 
  • Additional unit testing challenges we face regardless of the framework:
    • We don't have a good way to manage mocks for unit tests in a way that keeps them in sync with backend changes.
    • We don't have a good way to manage mocks for interfaces in a single place when multiple UI apps rely on the same interface. Currently, we maintain separate copies of mocks in separate UI repositories.
