During these two weeks, I focused on enhancing Microcks' CI workflows and healthcheck automation across multiple installation methods. I revisited the PR for testing sample APIs, which had been on hold pending config decisions. With the approach now finalized, I updated the PR to centralize the API testing logic so it can be reused by both our benchmark suite and the upcoming dedicated workflow.

In parallel, I created a new GitHub Actions workflow to handle healthchecks for the docker-compose installation method. To support this, I introduced an installation script that simplifies deploying various Microcks flavors. I then expanded the healthcheck logic further to support podman-compose and helm based installations via dedicated PRs. Together, these improvements make our CI more robust and ensure consistent validation of Microcks deployments across different environments.

With these updates, phase one of my LFX project is almost complete. The core workflows and scripts are in place, and the only remaining task is to add a couple more configurations to the existing setup to make it fully adaptable. Once that’s done, we’ll have a solid foundation for reliable and automated testing across all supported Microcks installation methods.

For the upcoming weeks, I plan to:

  • Expand api-tests script to test additional sample API endpoints.
  • Address feedback from code reviews.

Done and dusted — next week, we keep building!
