Synopsis

Project Summary

Testing of software is important since it discovers defects/bugs before the delivery to the client, which guarantees the quality of the software. It makes the software more reliable and easy to use. Thoroughly tested software ensures reliable and high-performance software operation. Now to ease regression testing time and for better efficiency to validate complex scenarios automation is preferred.

The Major Goal
Currently mediawiki is using Webdriverio as a browser driver for our test automation framework which is at version 6 (exception: 2 are at V4). The goal of this project is to migrate them to version 7 (Latest) Which was released recently on Feb 9 , 2021. Also we need to perform cleanup and refactoring of the existing WebdriverIO code across all repositories. (Additional goals below).

Features in new updates

• Stricter Protocol Compilance
• Test Coverage Reporting
• Dropped Node v10 support
• Improved google lighthouse Integration

The Additional Goals:

• Enabling of video recording in all selenium test
• Sanitizing Page Object Imports across all repos.
• Extending the wdio.conf.js file so that the same file can be used/extended across all repositories.

List of Mediawiki’s Repositories using WebdriverIO:

Possible Mentor(s)

• @Vidhi-Mody
• @Soham

Have you contacted your mentors already?
Yes! I have contacted them via Zulip

Timeline

According to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium/Reference/Example_Code , all of the repositories have been divided mainly into two groups by taking line of code, specs file into consideration.
Taking reference from the above link, I have divided this repos into two main group and one more group for exceptions :
Group-A: The group A will contains the list of repositories with simple spec files for tests.

Group-B: The group B will contains the list of repositories with advanced spec files for tests.

Group-C: : The group C will consists of exceptional repositories which are using cucumber instead of mocha framework and the ones which are not using page object pattern. Although Some of them are already included in group B due to their complexity, We are not going to include them in group C For example: mediawiki/Extensions/MobileFrontend is using cucumber and not using page object pattern.

Community Bonding Period (May 17, 2021 - June 7, 2021):

Coding Period (June 7, 2021 - August 16, 2021):

Final Evaluation(August 24, 2020 - August 31, 2020):
Prepare for the evaluation, fixing the unforeseen bugs, and working on community feedback.

Participation

• I will be working over 25-30 hours a week.
• I will be available on IRC and Zulip during my working hours
• I will also communicate on Phabricator via comments on the related project subtasks.
• In case of urgency or during non-working hours I can be contacted via email

About me

Education and Academics
I am currently in second year (4th Sem) pursuing Bachelor of Technology (B.tech) in Computer Science & Engineering at Parul University. I am also a junior tech volunteer at Bitcode Club at Parul university.

Technical Skills

How did you hear about this program?

I heard about this program in a college session from my professor 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.
