Homework 4

Testing

Testing! In lecture, we discussed various ways of maintaining the quality of our codebases. This is particularly important in open source, where we’d like to encourage as many people as possible to contribute, but in such a way that the stability of our projects (and sanity of the maintainers!) is maintained. For this homework, we will be setting up static analysis (linting) and testing for our libraries. In particular, you must have the following:

• At least 5 unit tests, but more accurately you should have the “correct” number of unit tests for your library
• At least 1 integration test, but the same rules as bullet 1
• Your test code should emit coverage information, and your coverage should exceed 50%
• You must run static analysis on your library
  • this includes compiled languages - something like cpplint and/or clang-format for C/C++, clippy and rustfmt for rust, checkstyle for java, etc
• You must have the ability to autoformat your library
• Setup Dependabot and CodeQL scanning on your library and fix any issues

To setup Dependeabot and CodeQL Scanning, navigate to settings:

Click on Code Security and Analysis:

Ensure dependabot is enabled:

Then navigate to Code scanning and setup CodeQL with defaults:

Double check that your language was detected and click Enable CodeQL
