Hi OFBiz Dev community, I am associated with a nascent collaborative initiative called Kenfuse (http://www.kenfuse.com). The effort is towards getting more and more students and junior developers get a taste of open source early on and decide for themselves. As part of the initiative we are working with graduate schools and structuring electives to be delivered formally so that the participation has a sense of direction ie students look forward to good grades if they do a good job besides picking up good skills of course and for institutes to prepare students on contemporary technologies and improve placements etc. Feedback from project mentors would influence their grades ;-). Much like Google Summer of Code , but with faculty involvement and incentive is grade and not cash :-(
Given that background, I am working with faculty from a top school in Bangalore, India, who are looking to offer a focused course on open source testing this term. The course is planned to contain two distinct sections a) classroom teaching introducing the subject and covering the fundamentals b) practical hands on projects where student ramp up on a specific assigned project architecture and functionality, required testing tools for automation and work with mentors to develop automation that can be contributed back. My note is towards this later component. Would like to explore projects on ofbiz testing and test automation that can be a good learning for students and also double as contributions back to the project. The term for students start in another week or so and expected to be a class of over 40 with about 8-10 open source project participating as mentor organization. Term ends by late Nov. Also here is a link that can provide some high-level overview of the process http://www.kenfuse.com/content/kencampus If there are specific questions or clarifications required, I would be more than happy to respond to them. - Sandy -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Ofbiz-Testing---student-projects-tp25104687p25104687.html Sent from the OFBiz - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
