Thank you Marc.
Yes, I think I should be adding unit tests as well. Actually, I read somewhere only students who have submitted patches would be considered for GSoC, hence I was keen to do a few quick contributions and then once I was eligible, completely devote my time on Unit Testing.
Hi,
We consider new Unit/Selenium Tests as a valid patch. Certainly if you plan to apply for the automated testing GSoC project. Providing working unit tests shows us that you understand this. Have a look at the code coverage reports [0] to find untested code.
Of course, you are free to submit other patches (fixing bugs/adding features) as well, if that helps you to get familiar with the code. But emphasize on writing tests.
