Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-6164:
----------------------------------------

Hi Ahsan,

Can you report on the exact command that you are running to run tests?

Let's try a very simple test, to see if it is working; can you try the following command:

    ant -Dderby.junit.testclass=org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.lang.BooleanValuesTest junit-single

This command should just run a single test; as opposed to some of the other ant targets, which run
many many thousands of tests and can take many hours to complete.

> This year's edition of Google Summer of Code includes, once again, the Apache Software Foundation.
> For the Derby project, I'm offering to mentor a student on the tasks described here.
> For this project, you are required to have some basic knowledge of JUnit and of how code coverage works.
> Currently some packages of Derby have poor code coverage. Emma defines the minimum acceptable code coverage as 70% and some engineers suggest a minimum of 80% is desired. 
> Students are invited to look at [1] to get familiar with Emma's code coverage reports on Derby. 
> The Derby project conducted this effort last year, and substantial improvements were made.
> We are looking to continue this process this year, as there are still areas of the Derby code base where code coverage could be substantially improved.
> The candidate students are also expected to come up with their own schedule for the tests they plan on creating and to discuss this schedule publicly on the mailing list. 
> After a student applies, a small interview will be conducted via email as part of the ASF's evaluation process.
