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.

I would like to send some patch to improve the code coverage. I am looking forward to
hearing from you. thanks

Thanks for your reply, Dieter
I will dig into the information that you gave me deeper.

Hi,
If you are interested in applying for a GSoC project, you can take
a look at our applicant guide [0], it will tell you what we expect
from applicants.
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.
