  • Google Summer of Code 2009: Django Testing Updates!

    Posted on April 21st, 2009 Kevin Kubasik 3 comments

    So my Google Summer of Code: 2009 project proposal was accepted! I will be working on a 2 phase project revolving around Django’s testing framework, and regression suite. Most notebly, I plan to:

    • Implement Windmill test coverage for Django’s Infamous contrib.admin
    • Provide several missing features/conveniences to the Django testing tools

    While it may not be the most glamorous project, I’m excited for it! When paired with my epic mentors, (the ever-infamous Eric Holscher and notorious George Song) it looks to be a solid summer. You can expect me to post weekly status updates here, as well as anything else relevant to the project. As my ‘get to know Django and make sure I can conform with coding standards etc.’ ticket, I’m planning to add an assertion which checks for dead links after template rendering. Or, as its better known, Django Ticket #5418.

    I want to also give a quick thanks to Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Eric Holscher, Jannis Leidel and all the other PyCon 2009 Sprinters who helped me create the proposal.

    1. Hi there!
      Maybe you will find out something interesting about acceptance testing at: http://pyccuracy.org/

      We haven’t wrote an windmill browser-driver yet, but maybe it’s a great idea :)
