Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-6164: ---------------------------------------- Hello, Ahsan, I am glad to hear you are interested in Derby. Here are several ways to learn more about Derby: 1) Download a recent copy of Derby and go through the tutorials: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.9/getstart/cgstutorialintro.html 2) Download the Derby source code from subversion, and follow the instructions to be able to build the code and run the test suites: http://db.apache.org/derby/dev/derby_source.html 3) Install the Emma tool and run one of the Derby test suites using Emma: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/CodeCoverageWithEMMA?highlight=%28Emma%29%7C%28Derby%29 Do you get the same code coverage results as the automated runs at http://dbtg.foundry.sun.com/derby/test/coverage/? If not, in which area are your coverage results different? > Improve Derby's Code Coverage - GSoC 2013 Project > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-6164 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6164 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Bryan Pendleton > Assignee: Bryan Pendleton > Priority: Minor > Labels: gsoc2013 > > This year's edition of Google Summer of Code includes, once again, the Apache > Software Foundation. > For the Derby project, I'm offering to mentor a student on the tasks > described here. > For this project, you are required to have some basic knowledge of JUnit and > of how code coverage works. > Currently some packages of Derby have poor code coverage. Emma defines the > minimum acceptable code coverage as 70% and some engineers suggest a minimum > of 80% is desired. > Students are invited to look at [1] to get familiar with Emma's code coverage > reports on Derby. > The Derby project conducted this effort last year, and substantial > improvements were made. > We are looking to continue this process this year, as there are still areas > of the Derby code base where code coverage could be substantially improved. > The candidate students are also expected to come up with their own schedule > for the tests they plan on creating and to discuss this schedule publicly on > the mailing list. > After a student applies, a small interview will be conducted via email as > part of the ASF's evaluation process. > [1] - http://dbtg.foundry.sun.com/derby/test/coverage/ -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
