Showroom highlights

Virtual Kanban boards in Software Development

• Problem: Physical Kanban boards can be limiting in mobile and distributed software teams that need location-independent collaboration.
• Approach: This 52-page Bachelor's thesis (November 2016) evaluates three virtual Kanban solutions using Kanban rule coverage, usability, cost, and two case studies across different team contexts.
• Outcome: Virtual boards are easy to use and add clear value over physical boards, but Kanban rule implementation varies widely and no single tool is best for every project.

Robot Framework Result Analysis AI

• Problem: Robot Framework failures often produce long logs that slow down triage and make root-cause analysis expensive.
• Approach: Runs Robot tests, extracts failed cases, adds Playwright trace context when available, redacts common secrets, and sends structured context to OpenAI.
• Outcome: Generates actionable JSON triage reports with failure type, confidence, likely root cause, retry guidance, and categorized fix suggestions for CI workflows.

Appium Agent Tools for VS Code

• Problem: Mobile test automation usually means context switching between scripts, inspectors, and manual device poking, which slows down feedback loops.
• Approach: Built a TypeScript VS Code extension that exposes 7 GitHub Copilot-callable Appium tools (start/stop session, find, tap, type, screenshot, page source) over raw W3C WebDriver HTTP.
• Outcome: Enables prompt-driven Android UI automation directly in VS Code, with saved screenshot/XML artifacts that make debugging and bug reports faster and repeatable.
