Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-6164:
----------------------------------------
Hello Ahsan,
I am glad to hear that your test environment is now operational. Probably, we
could improve our documentation on the wiki!
Please, call me Bryan.
Regarding your proposal, you should certainly read through the Google
guidelines on the GSoC web site:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2013/help_page#5._What_should_a_student_proposal_look
Specifically with regard to this project, your proposal should be as specific
as possible about the
work you propose to perform (improving the Derby test suite to ensure that more
of the Derby
code base is thoroughly tested) -- describe the code packages that seem to you
to be in more
need of additional testing, based on your review of the current code coverage
results at
http://dbtg.foundry.sun.com/derby/test/coverage/
Also you should describe the work you have done to this point, your approach
for proceeding
with additional work, and how you propose to measure the success of the work.
For some additional ideas, you might look at some of the Derby GSoC projects
that have been
done in the past, for example DERBY-5674 and DERBY-5091
You can also subscribe to the derby-dev mailing list and search the archives
for prior years to
find some examples of student proposals for Derby GSoC projects in the past.

> Key: DERBY-6164
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6164
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Test
> 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.
