------------------------------------
Hi Nges, thanks for your interest in participating in our GSoC!
Sorry, I don't really understand this area very well, but what I gather from
the description is that the work involved would be a "code review" plus
"correcting issues found". Is that a good definition?
Some doubts I have about this:
1) What value would it provide long-term (after the work is done)?
2) What modules do you think would be better served by white box testing?
3) What are some practical examples of "might not be obeying the standard of
coding"?
4) Apart from manual labour do you have suggestion of tools could we use and
how to automate them to achieve the same results?
5) Could you point to some existing "conditions that present as threats to the
stability, security, or performance" and how to fix them?
Cheers and good luck!

> Key: MYNEWT-704
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-704
> Project: Mynewt
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Nges Brian
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: gsoc2017
>
> This Project is based on testing and risk analysis.
> Due to the increase in the code base of the Mynewt OS, there is the fear that
> some code might not be obeying the standard of coding in the the OS or might
> be omitting certain conditions that present as threats to the stability,
> security, or performance of the code.
> Secondly, New modules keep adding to the Mynewt OS everyday such as Tinycbor
> without automated testing.
> For the above reasons, we need someone who will be able to run risk analyses
> on most parts of the OS , correct any errors if found and also write some
> automated testing for modules which do not yet have on the Mynewt OS.
