Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] about project: Automatic testing

Hi, I am new here for GSOC. After reading the idea listed on link: https://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2013_Ideas_List#Automated_testing I am quite interested on the topic: Automatic testing. I have some developing experience on selenium and PHP Code Coverage. I has digged into the phpmyadmin project. 1. I fork a phpmyadmin project https://github.com/adamgsoc2013/phpmyadmin 2. take some learning about the CI and Codecoverage on PHPMyadmin I am very familiar with the CI env and PHP code coverage, because I just finished a similiar project when I Intern on Yahoo! last year. I finished a automatic testing job: 1. PHP UNIT code and Functional testing code. 2. Commit to GIT will trigger a CI build. 3. The CI build is done by: slenium + Firefox+ Xvfb (so that we dont need display) 4. output the code coverage report. About the topic, at least two things should be done: 1. create more test cases to increase the code-coverage of the test-suite From the following data, Total48.55%11386 / 2345248.04%368 / 76615.79%9 / 57 libraries47.45%10894 / 2296048.04%368 / 76615.79%9 / 57 2. set up the necessary scripts to automate this. https://github.com/adamgsoc2013/phpmyadmin/tree/master/scripts I would like to send some patch to improve the code coverage. I am looking forward to hearing from you. thanks adam From: adam Date: 2013-03-21 00:40 To: Dieter Adriaenssens; phpmyadmin-devel Subject: about project: Automatic testing Thanks for your reply, Dieter I will dig into the information that you gave me deeper.

In case of the automated testing idea : A good way to start is to have a look at the current tests [1] and code coverage [2]. We expect you to provide a patch as part of your project proposal, so you can add a few tests to show us that you understand the code.
