[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-6164) Improve Derby's Code Coverage - GSoC 2013 Project

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13682816#comment-13682816 ] 

Myrna van Lunteren commented on DERBY-6164:
-------------------------------------------

I do not know if further activity has happened between mentor and mentoree, but I just noticed that a similar issue is still open from the 2013 GSoC project - DERBY-5674. Looks like some issues were handled, but quite a few issues are still open. Perhaps interesting issues can be moved to be subtasks of this issue, and the non-interesting ones made to either full issues or marked as 'no fix intended'?

> 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.
