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?

> 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.
