Project Details

• First we need get familiar with fedpak and nose
• fedpak is built on GIT, which, in turn, is an alternative to CVS. So we better gain certain level of knowledge how these programs work
• Python is the key to this project. As Luke suggested, the testing code should be embedded inside fedpkg.
  • Get speed on Python
  • Read the source code of fedpkg
  • Go through the sample test cases
• When we get to this stage, it will be writing and rewriting the test code to get the meaningful test results.

Project Plan

Goals for each release:

• 0.1

Use nose testing some simple python programs. The programs should be our own.

• 0.2

Each of the members will write a test for a python library function in fedpkg. The test must show some meaningful results.

• 0.3

Either improve the test from the second stage or write more test for other library functions in fedpkg.
