Improve Derby's Code Coverage - GSoC 2012 Project
-------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-5674
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5674
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Tiago R. Espinha
Priority: Minor
This year's edition of Google Summer of Code includes, once again, the Apache
Software Foundation. As I did last year, I'm offering to mentor a student again
this year, this time for a different project.
For this project, the student is 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.
A few suggestions of classes that require improvements are:
- org.apache.derby.client.net - importnat package with poor coverage.
- org.apache.derby.iapi.types - several classes not tested at all and others
with poor coverage.
- org.apache.derby.iapi.jdbc - could use extensive improvements.
- org.apache.derby.impl.io - another package with poor coverage.
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 on IRC as part of
the ASF's evaluation process.
