Oliver,

I would say that a test coverage task has three problems:
1) it is too complex;
2) it is not localized, the person should cover our 50,000 test base;
3) it is more production-like task than educational one;
4) QA tasks are likely to be less interesting for most ambitious students.

If there are professional QA engineers working on Harmony, this would
be an ideal task for them to grow from QA engineers to experienced
ones.

Thanks.
