The software testing in Lab 8

 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.

Second, I add some scripts in the package.json file. After that, I can use the command "npm test" to start the project test and the command "npm coverage" to create a coverage analysis test report. 

                                            Add Test and Code Coverage Analysis


Third, I add the Continuous Integration using GitHub Actions. I choose to use the Node.js CI. After doing it, the GitHub will test the project automatically when I update my local code to my main branch in GitHub or other parters pull a request to it.

Forth, I modify some code and promote my project. Then, I pull a request to test my CI test.

At last, I update the testing details to my CONTRIBUTING.md file so that other partners can better use the test tools.

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...

Publish project in Lab 9

This week we start to practice how to release your project into public. In this way, the users don't need to clone  and build your project to run it locally. They can install it globally and use it easily. In this lab, I utilize my link checker project to practice to release it. Because my project was written by Node.js, so I choose npm platform to create my release.  First of all, I read the npm documents and check my project files step by step. I make sure the package.json file includes everything required such as name, version, dependencies, scripts, author and so on. After modifying all the things, I push these changes into my GitHub. Second, I create an account in npm website . It  is a necessary step if you want to publish your project into npm platform. Then,  I us e the command "npm login" to login the npm platform. After that, I use the command "npm push" to release my project. In the first release operation, there is a 403 error which shows " Yo...
