Hi,
In the last conference call, I reported my problems to Sverre that most of my time is spent on reading the code itself and that I had problems in deciding about the use cases when writing tests. My productivity has been very low till now and I have written atmost two tests per week. This week I worked hard and I have written tests for all the modules in gsoc.logic and soc.logic except three modules. Though the tests are under review and they need drastic improvements, I have now become comfortable in deciding about the use cases and writing tests. I had a discussion with Leo and he told that I was unnecessarily using DjangoTestCase. I can use seeder_logic and inherit my test classes from unittest.TestCase and this will improve the performance and speed. I was using DjangoTestCase to avoid instantiating the GSoCOrganization, GSoCTimeline and other entities which I could use directly when inherited from DjangoTestCase. But seeder_logic is more useful and its also used in DjangoTestCase. So, I corrected the test for soc.logic.host and used seeder_logic to seed the entities and it was working fine.
I tested a total of 8 modules in this week and the coverage has increased by 4%. The present coverage of the tests in my local copy is 70%. The coverage will increase more when I write tests for the soc.views.
My work for this week is to correct the previous tests, test the remaining three modules in gsoc.logic and soc.logic and then start the view tests.I hope to finish all the logic tests before the mid-term evaluations.
PS: Mercurial queues are AWESOME. Salute and gratitude to the guy who wrote that extension. :)
