Weekly Progress
WEEK 1 - 2: I've established Selenium on three virtual machines (Kubuntu, Fedora, Ubuntu) for simultaneous testing. I conducted thorough KecoLab testing, identifying and reporting bugs to enhance its quality. Proactive communication was initiated with the Okular team for pipeline integration and with KdeEcoTest contributors regarding Wayland support timelines. Additionally, Also, resolved the dynamic IP issue for Powemeter access, streamlining testing processes.
