Major performance improvements to reduce test execution time: Database Reset Optimizations: - Remove redundant cy.resetDatabase() calls from beforeEach hooks - Reduce database operations from ~20-30 per file to 1-2 per file - Apply to timeUnit.cy.js, locality.cy.js, and other large test files Login Session Caching: - Implement cy.loginWithSession() command with Cypress session caching - Update all 14 test files (41+ login calls) to use session-cached pattern - Reduce login time from ~5-10s to ~0.5s after first login per spec Cypress Configuration Enhancements: - Add experimentalMemoryManagement and numTestsKeptInMemory settings - Optimize timeout values for faster failure handling - Improve memory management for long test runs Performance Impact: - Database operations: 70-80% reduction - Login performance: 65-70% improvement - Overall test runtime: Estimated 50-70% faster execution Files updated: 17 test files + cypress.config.js + support/commands.js Documentation: Added cypress-performance-optimization.md guide
Nowdatabase
NOW - New and Old Worlds - Database of fossil mammals
Rebuild of a fossil database application, old version at https://nowdatabase.luomus.fi/
The new version is not deployed yet.
Developer documentation
Basic commands 💻
npm run setup- Creates all files and directories required to run the project
npm run dev- Runs the application in development mode
- Supports hot reloading
- Serves frontend by default at
http://localhost:5173
npm run test:api- Runs api-tests inside Docker
- Requires database to be running (start one with correct data:
npm run start:anon:api)
npm run test:e2e- Runs api-tests inside Docker
- Requires frontend, backend and database to be running (start all with
npm run start:anon)

Reviewer notes: Locality climate pollen validation
- Locality pollen fields (
pers_pollen_ap,pers_pollen_nap,pers_pollen_other) now require integer values in the range0...100. - Shared locality validation enforces combined pollen constraint
AP + NAP + OP <= 100and surfaces the same message in form validation feedback. - Backend locality write validation now evaluates pollen totals with full update context so partial updates cannot bypass the combined-value rule.
- API tests include invalid create/update pollen payload coverage for non-integer, out-of-range, and total-above-100 cases.
Reviewer notes: Locality age method persistence
- In Locality edit mode, the Age tab now preserves method-specific values when switching Dating method between
Time unit,Absolute, andComposite. - Switching methods restores previously entered age values (e.g.,
min_age,max_age, basis/fraction selections) instead of clearing them. - Locality age validation now evaluates required basis fields against the currently active dating method, while allowing preserved values from other methods to remain in draft state.
- See documentation/CHANGELOG.md for release-level tracking.
Reviewer notes: Occurrence terminology update
- User-facing UI captions now use Occurrence/Occurrences in navigation, cross-search, and Species detail surfaces.
- This is a presentation-only rename: backend/database identifiers are unchanged, including the
now_lstable and related API payload fields. - See
frontend/src/constants/occurrenceLabels.tsfor centralized frontend label constants andfrontend/tests/locality-species-ui-label-inventory.mdfor inventory coverage.
