CSE 490E1 Assignment 2: Test coverage

Due: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 11:59pm, via Canvas

Select an open-source Java project that
- has at least 5000 lines of code according to sloccount,
- contains a test suite,
- is maintained (in the previous year, has at least 10 commits and at least one issue fixed in its issue tracker), and
- has a buildfile for (in order of preference) Maven, Gradle, Ant, or Make.
You will run various tools on this codebase during the quarter.
Tell the instructor your choice as soon as possible — email a URL (probably a GitHub URL). If you chose the same project as another student, one of you will have to change your choice.

Run the project's tests and note the number of passing and failing tests and the time it took to run them. Here is a way to obtain a file that you can submit, for a project that uses Maven as its build system:

    cd /tmp
    git clone https://github.com/user/project
    cd project
    git remote show origin | grep "Fetch URL:" >testexecution.txt
    echo SHA: $(git rev-parse HEAD) >>testexecution.txt
    mvn test >>testexecution.txt

Run a code coverage tool to compute coverage. I recommend JaCoCo, which comes with a Maven plug-in and an Ant task and can also be run from the command line.
Create a zip file that contains:
- Test execution results
- Coverage results
- a README.txt file that contains
  - your name, UW net ID, and the class name and assignment number and date (this information will be implicit from now on; you should always include it)
  - the name and URL of the project you chose
  - where to find the results (for example, test execution is perhaps in a file named testexecution.txt
  - how to reproduce all of your results, up to and including creating the final zip file, on a Unix machine. This could be a list of commands that can be pasted into a Unix shell. Or, it could be as simple as mvn assignment1.zip if you created a Maven file and target to do the work (other build systems are fine too).
Upload your zip file to Canvas.
