[SantosGuillamot]

Sprint 12 Planning

You can check the Sprint board for more detail. This sprint will go from February 24th to March 17th. This is going to be our focus:

Finish the WIP issues:

• Infinite Scroll hooks: David wrote down the Final Implementation and it’s just pending a final review.
• AMP initial processors: The basics processors are created and he is working on the more complex ones that will need e2e tests.
• Selenium tests: As explained here, most of the work is already done. We have to clean the whole branch and ensure everything works as expected.
• BrowserStack Cypress tests: This still needs a deeper look.
• Migrate Frontity Connect to RES: We are still analyzing the best approach for this.

High priority bugs

• @frontity/google-analytics package doesn’t work with Google Analytics 4
• REST API - Head Tags doesn’t work with AIOSEOP ^4.0.0

AMP beta version

• We will release an initial version to test it once the processors are ready. We will work hand-to-hand with Frontity users to see if more processors are needed.
• In parallel, we will need to start working on making Frontity packages AMP-aware:
  • @frontity/google-tag-manager
  • @frontity/google-analytics
  • @frontity/comscore-analytics
  • @frontity/smart-ads
  • @frontity/google-ad-manager
• Once this is ready, it should be safe to use AMP and Frontity.

Research upcoming features

• Technical research SSR fallback for old browsers.
• Initial research of the Consent Management Platform functionalities.
