GSoC-2023-Report

Google Summer of Code 2023 - Report

Hello there👋, I am Nikhil Mahajan, a passionate software engineer and open-source enthusiast from India. This is my submission report for GSoC 2023 at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find the relevant links below.

• Primary task
• Accepted Proposal
• Project - Wikifunctions
• Mentors - Stef, James and Cory
• Community - Abstract Wikipedia Team
• Final Product - I have contributed 90% to the code

Summary of the goals

I have developed the tests that replicate important user journeys within the Wikifunction platform. These tests play a crucial role in ensuring that modifications to the code (patches) don’t cause any disruptions in how users interact with the application. These tests run every time a patch is being reviewed. The primary aim is to prevent the incorporation of patches that accidentally introduce bugs into the application. These tests fail if a patch creates problems for any of the user journeys. Moreover, these tests aid in identifying and fixing issues effectively.

Overview of my contributions

The patches are listed in chronological order, with the latest contributions being first in the sequence.

• docs: Update Readme for selenium tests
