[Phpmyadmin-devel] New contributor, need advice.
Hi, I have recently cloned the phpMyAdmin repository and I am looking for some bugs or features requests to do which need attention and are higher in priority. What section of the bug tracker should I generally scan? I am also looking forward to applying as a student for Google Summer of Code 2013 under the task related to adding unit tests and automating tests using selenium tests. But to gain familiarity, I would like to submit some required patches or feature-requests to start with. Is this the correct approach? Thanks! -- Ayush Chaudhary

Yes, this is the correct approach. See [0]. Why not gaining familiarity by adding a few unit tests? [0] http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2013_Applicant_Guide#Get_involved_with_p... -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info
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. -- Ayush Chaudhary On Wednesday, 6 February 2013 at 2:03 AM, Marc Delisle wrote:

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.

Hi Dieter, Thanks for the suggestion. That link is really really useful. I will try and start with Unit/Selenium Tests as soon as possible and provide some new Tests to increase the code coverage. Thanks again! -- Ayush Chaudhary On Wednesday, 6 February 2013 at 2:31 PM, Dieter Adriaenssens wrote:
