For the Google Summer of Code 2015, I will be working on the Testing Automation project. I will be testing features of the Mobile App Control Center. Mariam Kiran will be my mentor.
- Read up on Testing Automation and Selenium.
- Had initial interaction with mentor.
- Met up with Irish and who provided a detailed installation guide for the Mobile App Control Centre. (MACC)
- Setting up testing environment.
- Not yet.
- I plan to redo the whole process, this time using the setup just for the MACC and not try to join that of Automated Testing and MACC.
- No, I think I've got it covered.
- Get initial requirements/functionalities for testing.
- Modify timeline to incorporate functionalities to be tested.
- Start testing of base features already on the MACC.
- On schedule.
- Finally finished the setup for testing the MACC with Irish's help and from the detailed installation guide she wrote.
- Created a list of functionalities which are currently present on the MACC for testing.
- Power outages throughout town.
- Misinterpretation of language for setup of MACC. (comment in…/comment out…)
- Yes, electricity was restored the following day.
- Yes and learnt a lot in the process.
- No, none exists.
- No
- Modify timeline to incorporate functionalities to be tested.
- Start testing of base features already on the MACC.
- I am slightly behind due to school work but plan to catch up during the week.
- Skyped with my mentor (Mariam) to address some questions I had.
- Started coding the tests for the malaria section of the MACC.
- To catch up with time, I started with integrating generic classes.
- Right now, I'm waiting for code review so I can make any changes if necessary and hopefully merge with the master branch of the automated testing repos.
- I also got Irish's time-line and the changes she plans to implement this year.
- None
- N/A
- N/A
- N/A
- Continue testing the base functionalities for the MACC.
- Continue creating generic classes.
- Modify my time-line to include the other functionalities which will be implemented by Irish.
- On track.
- Had code review with my mentor.
- Implemented some changes as per her recommendations.
- Continued with testing functionalities.
- None

- N/A
- Finish with writing the test cases.
- For the next two weeks, I shall prepare for and write end-of-semeter examinations which was indicated in my time line. (Exams this year come a little earlier than expected). Therefore, next week, I shall mostly be studying about the Java Database Connectivity API so I can implement it after exams.
- On schedule.
- Started reading up on JDBC API.
- None
- N/A
- N/A
- N/A
- Will continue with reading up on JDBC API and how to generate reports with Selenium web driver.
- I had set apart time on my time-line to prepare for and write exams. So I am still on track.
- Read up on using the Java Database Connectivity API. I now have an idea of what needs to be done to test the database functionalities.
- I also came across an article on how to access multiple web elements at a time using a list instead of writing code for accessing each element.
- Read up on how to generate reports with Selenium. I came across several promising tools like:
- HTML Publisher
- Allure framework
- TestNG
- This article
- I have to see the pros and cons of each and run them by my mentor.
- None

- My end-of-year examinations end on Wednesday. After that I plan to:
- Refactor the code.
- Write test suites.
- On track.
- Updated my timeline.
- Reacquainted myself with the code.
- Rewrote some tests to sync with changes on the MACC repos.
- Getting the Assert statements to work.
- Accessing multiple web elements at the same time.
- Figuring out how to test for incorrect inputs.
- Figuring out how to access information from excel spreadsheet.
- Not all of them.
- The first one was resolved by getting the Webdriver to wait until the page loads before executing the Asserts.
- The others have not been resolved.
- I will ask my mentor for help if I continue to face these problems.
- Write test suites.
- Not on track.
- Used the Apache POI tool to access login information from an excel worksheet.
- This information was used to test for incorrect inputs.
- Started implementing the data driven framework to allow for all sorts of data.
- Refactored code to include a class for constants. * This will reduce redundancy of constants in the code and simplify modification in case of changes in the MACC repos.
- Started a README.md file for my repository.
- Started writing test suites.
- Building of a data driven testing framework.
- I have an idea of what building a framework entails.
- N/A
- I will ask my mentor for help if I have any problems.
- Have code review and skype call with my mentor.
- Use a reporting tool create html reports.
- Refactor code and check for and modify tests which have failed due to changes in the MACC repos.
- Have a complete README file ready for Irish.
- On track.
- Talked with mentor on the progress of the project. She said everything looked fine.
- Completed a README.md file.
- Continued building the framework by using Apache * POI to access signup and post information from excel sheets.
- I pulled the MACC code and was not able to access particular sections of the app.
- I encountered difficulty in manipulating data which was accessed in the excel sheet in the test script. Depending on the data read, certain checkboxes need to be ticked. I have trouble getting the tests to decipher which data read corresponds to which checkbox to be ticked.
- The first has been resolved. Irish had moved some of the database models in the MACC code. To fix this issue, I deleted the previous directory where the code was found and cloned the new one.
- The second issue still exists. I used switch statements to include the various options. Unfortunately, cell types that can be read with Apache POI are blanks, formula, boolean, error, string and numeric values and switch statements can have just numbers and characters as case values.
- I will ask my mentor for help if I have any problems.
- Fix problems encountered last week.
- Finish implementation of test suites.
- Refactor code.
- Start with database testing.
- Not on track.

- Used a main function to call all the TestNG test suites instead of the Maven build tool.
- Refactored code.
- Lost a lot of work because I hadn't committed them. When I did finally want to commit, I had to remove some files first. I accidentally ended up removing all of my source folder. To try to rectify the error, I did a git checkout HEAD which does not take you one git command back but to the state you were in when at the last commit of each file.
- Yes, they have. I rewrote the files.

I will be attending the University of Waterloo in Canada to pursue a master's degree in Computer Science, with a research area in machine learning.
Recently, I was awarded the Generation Google Scholarship, which is granted to select students from across Canada and the United States who exemplify leadership, a passion for computer science and technology, and have achieved a strong record of academic achievement.
In my free time, I enjoy pwning noobs, first-person shooters, collecting trophies on PlayStation Network, independent travel and exploration, and getting more involved in open source development.

- No
- I don't need much assistance in the setup but I do need assistance in understanding the requirements of the project and putting together my timeline. Since my initial proposal was for a different project, I had to start a new timeline from scratch. Reached out to Vaibhavi Desai who worked on MACC-malaria last year.
