Took over maintenance of Findologic's Search and Navigation Plugin for Shopware, rebuilt from RC to production across multiple releases with comprehensive testing infrastructure and 100% code coverage.
I took over maintenance of Findologic's Search and Navigation Plugin for Shopware when Shopware 6 was still in RC (release candidate). The plugin had basic functionality but lacked production-grade quality, comprehensive testing, and proper CI/CD infrastructure.
The goal was to achieve production-grade quality with comprehensive test coverage, establish automated CI/CD pipelines, and maintain compatibility across multiple Shopware 6 releases as the platform matured from RC to stable production versions.
I rebuilt the plugin with a test-first approach, implementing comprehensive testing infrastructure and establishing professional development practices that transformed it into a production-grade enterprise solution used by major e-commerce operations.
