[GSoC 2026 PROPOSAL] Kushagra Tiwari - Improving Cucumber Reports Plugin and Internationalization

Hi everyone,

I am Kushagra Tiwari, a 3rd year Computer Science student at Dr. Abdul Kalam Technical University. I am writing to introduce myself and share my proposal for GSoC 2026. I have a strong background in Java and Maven, and I’ve been an active user of Jenkins for my personal projects.

Project Interest: I am particularly interested in enhancing the Cucumber Reports ecosystem. My goal is to improve the visual consistency of trend statistics and ensure the plugin handles global use cases (like non-ASCII characters) more robustly. I am also very interested in contributing to the Jenkins .io documentation, specifically regarding internationalization guides.

Current Contributions: I believe in “code first.” To demonstrate my commitment, I have already started contributing:

  • Upstream Fix: I submitted a Pull Request to the core cucumber-reporting library (PR #1329) to fix a bug where log recorder redirects failed when names contained non-ASCII characters.

  • Website Research: I am currently investigating an open issue on jenkins.io (#2739) regarding non-English documentation to help broaden Jenkins’ reach.

Proposal Draft: You can find my detailed project proposal here. I would appreciate any feedback or technical suggestions from the mentors! GOOGLE DOC LINK HERE

I look forward to discussing these ideas with the community and refining my proposal further.

Best regards, Kushagra Tiwari
