Sandy,
This is interesting. I have tried doing something similar institutions
around our Indore (India) office.
Ofbiz has its system for implementing unit tests. Recently Jira issue
OFBIZ-2854 was created for unit test implementation. There are lots of
other similar jira issues that have been defined and implemented in
past.
It will be nice if you can review these assets and let us know how we
can help with your plan.
1) I (and few others from Hotwax Media) can help by reviewing the
contribution and commit them to trunk when they are ready.
2) I know Sumit Pandit from our company is working on implementing
list of Unit tests for accounting component. He can be creating Jira
issues and students can provide implementations.
Regards
Anil Patel

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

If there are specific questions or clarifications required, I would
be more
than happy to respond to them.
- Sandy
