The second pull request for Release0.2

 Now, it is the second week for my Release0.2 assignment of OSD600 course. I plan to practice a new pull request using git and GitHub. 

First of all, I try to search for a suitable issue from open source projects. In this time, I search for the issues with the limitations of "good first issue" and "JavaScript" through advanced search in GitHub. Then I find an issue about combining the data to a separated file from a repo. Now all of the needed data is in the main index.js file. But the main file will be clunky when the data is too much. So I decide to store all of the test data to a separated js file.

I create a new branch named issue-24 for the flowing changes. After storing the data to a single file, I exports these variables. Then, the main index.js file can use them. When I complete all of the changes, I try to test if it works well.

Test


At last, I commit the changes and push them to my forked repo. Then I pull a request to the author to check.

Open source development course

 I'm Leon and a student of Computer Programming & Analysis program in Seneca College. I am taking OSD600 course of this semester in Toronto .   I am vey interesting in the open source. The course is my opportunity to know more things about it.  Open source development can provide us the opportunities to work with the developers around the world.  Open source technology and open source thinking also can benefit everyone, not only programmers. I want to study the open source tools and accumulate the development experience of real software project. I'm gonna search for commercial service development projects to understand the requirements of a business project. The GitHub trending repo I research is  Rocket.Chat . It is Open Source Solution for team communications.  Instant messaging is a widely used network application. I want to know how to develop this kinds of softwares. I'm gonna share my learning process with this course during this semester in my bl...

Choose a project in Release 0.4

 Release 0.4 is my fourth assignment for OSD600 course. There are three steps to complete it. The first step is to choose a project which you will work with. The second step is to update the process about the work. The last step is to show my result for the project. Because it is close to my test week. I don't have enough time to search for a new suitable project. So, I decide to work with the former project in this course. Actually I plan to work with my link checker project . I had designed some features which can be used to test if a link work well. But I think there are still something which I can promote. This is true for every IT project, and you can continually improve the project to make it better and better. In the first assignment for this course, my professor list many optional features which can be designed into the link check project. I will choose one of them which I don't complete to further refine my project.

The software testing in Lab 8

Image
 This week we start to practice how to test the project with a testing framework. In the lab, I choose Jest to test my link checker project  written by JavaScript.  Jest  is a testing framework developed by Facebook. Originally designed to make UI testing easier for React developers, it’s now a full standalone suite of tools for any type of JavaScript project (including Node.js) and includes features such as a built-in assertion library, code coverage, and mocking. Jest also runs multiple test suites concurrently, which can speed up the overall testing process.  Jest has a lot of advantages, so I want to use it. First of all, I install the Jest to my local project using the command " npm install --save-dev jest ". Then I write three unit tests for reading a file and requesting a url by creating two new .test.js files. After completing the coding, I try to test them using the command "npm run test" and it works well. Unit test Second, I add some scripts in the p...
