Modernization and Migration of Octoffers to Python

[webgtx]

Objective:
The primary objective of this project is to reimplement the Octoffers application in Python, with the aim of enhancing development efficiency and maintainability. The existing project relies on a command-line interface (CLI) and Selenium-based drivers to automate the process of submitting resumes with cover letters to various job platforms. The migration to Python is expected to streamline the development process and improve the overall robustness of the system.

Milestones:

1. Project Analysis and Planning (Duration: 1-2 days)

   • Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the existing Octoffers codebase and documentation.
   • Identify dependencies and libraries used in the current project.
   • Develop a detailed migration plan outlining the steps and potential challenges.

2. Refactoring CLI and Core Functionality #2 (Duration: 1 week)

   • Rewrite the existing CLI in Python, maintaining or improving existing functionality.
   • Refactor the core automation logic and implement it using Python best practices.
   • Ensure backward compatibility with existing data storage (SQLite database).

3. Platform Driver Migration and Development #3 (Duration: 1-2 months)

   • Reimplement Selenium-based drivers using Python Selenium bindings.
   • Update and optimize web automation scripts for improved performance.
   • Test the drivers on various job platforms to ensure compatibility.

4. Testing and Quality Assurance (Duration: 1-2 days)

   • Develop and execute comprehensive test cases to validate the functionality of the rewritten system.
   • Conduct integration tests with the new Python components.
   • Identify and address any bugs or issues during the testing phase.

5. Documentation and Knowledge Transfer (Duration: 1-2 days)

   • Document the new Python codebase, providing clear and concise documentation for future maintenance.
   • Conduct knowledge transfer sessions with relevant team members to ensure a smooth transition.

Completion Criteria:
The project will be considered successfully completed when the Python version of Octoffers is operational, meeting or exceeding the functionality of the existing system. All relevant documentation must be updated, and knowledge transfer sessions conducted to ensure the ongoing support and maintenance of the system in the Python environment.
