I have been attempting to improve the level of test coverage [1] within NetsSurf recently. This work is mainly geared towards having sufficient tests to implement cookie handling with some confidence of correctness.
The current [2] cookie standards are very different to what we have now and need this refactor to allow their use in the modern web with javascript etc. The test coverage is now minimally adequate at 88% of lines and 64% of conditionals for code that is tested. However the amount of the codebase tested outside of the utilities and url database is effectively zero. It would be a great area for a new contributor (or old ;-) to start with the codebase and add some tests while improving their familiarity with the NetsSurf codebase. Tests are implemented as a series of simple programs using the c check library. The existing tests should provide enough of a template but feel free to ask questions here.
