[DMP 2024]: Mojaloop participation tools enhancement

[elnyry-sam-k]

Ticket Contents

Description

[Provide a brief description of the feature, including why it is needed and what it will accomplish.] There is a need to enhance, support and maintain the Mojaloop participation tools periodically. Usual maintenance and evolution to support new needs doesn’t take priority as commercial teams or teams with grants and projects focus on specific features only as required by business needs.

The Mojaloop participation tool set that includes tools such as the Mojaloop Testing Toolkit, the “Core test harness”, Miniloop, IaC need some maintenance to keep them up-to-date and enhancements to make them user friendly (to devs, qa, infra members) to use and for demonstrations for business and product users.

Goals & Mid-Point Milestone

Goals

• [ ] Run participation tools successfully locally and understand operation (Mojaloop Testing Toolkit (TTK), Core test Harness (CTH), Payment manager, Miniloop (and if possible IaC later on separately)
• [ ] Update services to latest dependencies and address security issues, vulnerabilities and any fixes based on initial observation
• [ ] Update Core test harness to create basic profiles to include only absolutely required steps and scripts
• [ ] Update miniloop to work with latest Mojaloop releases [by mid-point]
• [ ] Enhance demonstrations for focus use-cases and explore hosting one or more of the participation tools on cloud with separate UI if necessary
• [ ] Include finance portal on the participation tools (if within resource limits to deploy on dev machines)

Setup/Installation

Details in implementation details

Expected Outcome

• [ ] Mojaloop TTK is updated to use latest dependencies and any unused deps removed and demos enhanced where possible
• [ ] Mojaloop CTH profiles created for basic set of operations and provide support for all use cases supported by Mojaloop
• [ ] Miniloop is updated to support latest Mojaloop release (v16) and include finance portal if possible
• [ ] Create a sandbox on cloud using one of the participation tools for demonstrating Mojaloop use cases
• [ ] Create a demo setup using CTH, Payment managers separately to simulate close to real scenarios

Hi @elnyry-sam-k My previous , internships experience , SIH experience and open source experience at Keploy , reflects that I can work on open source and complex projects. I have successfully setup Mojaloop TTK locally and started exploring it. Under your guidance I would like to work on the Mojaloop project .

Hey @elnyry-sam-k , I recently got to know about the C4GT program and this project got my attention. What i understand by this ticket - In summary, this ticket outlines a project aimed at updating and improving various tools within the Mojaloop ecosystem to support its latest release, we have to run these tools locally and test and update them and if possible at a financial portal at the end.

--> I wanted to know are their any active project proposals for this project , if not i would love to work on this as this project looks interesting and something that would provide a lots of learning and exposure.
