How did you hear about this program?
I heard about this program in a college session regarding open source development.
Will you have any other time commitments, such as school work, another job, planned vacation, etc, during the duration of the program?
Fortunately End Sem examination will commence from 12th April and ends on 22th April, Hence I don’t have any commitments on this summer, and hence 25-30 hours per week is easily manageable for me to work for this project.
We advise all candidates eligible for Google Summer of Code and Outreachy to apply for both programs. Are you planning to apply to both programs, and if so, with what organization(s)?
I am only applying to google summer of code with Wikimedia organization
What does making this project happen mean to you?
I am quite passionate in learning through e-resources since my childhood, I have been using Wikipedia since childhood and it always helped me in understanding complex things and has proven to be the better choice among others available on the Internet due to its easy availability. What Wikipedia today is just because of its community. Working on this project will not only help in improving my automation testing skills, but it will also be a pride for me to create something that would be usable by large community . It would help me to realize that how collaboration can lead to great things.
Past Experience
- I have worked on several different projects that span a wide range of technologies like Html , CSS, Javascript, PHP, Python, C++, Django, Bootstrap, JQuery, and databases like MySQL.
- I have decent understanding for writing automation tests and also familiar in cypress, selenium.
Microtasks:
- Created sample cypress test for Wikipedia-preview
- Integrated the test with circleci
- Performed Cross browser testing with firefox and chrome browser
- Created initial test analysis report.
