Release 4.0 - Part 1: Choose Project

-

For release 4.0, I have a choice of what project I choose for this assignment: Telescope or another open-source project. I looked around some projects and decided to keep working on Telescope. I know the community is really nice and there are lots of things I can learn by working on this project. I am so excited to have a chance to contribute to this project more.

I've checked all issues on the Telescope project and the one I would like to work on is issue #1316: [Meta] Port existing GatsbyJS code to Next.js. It said they are beginning the transition from GatsbyJS to Next.js for the front-end. Actually, both languages are the ones I am not familiar with. However, I know their community is really nice and helpful so I would like to take this challenge. I asked whether I can take the error page part and they accept it. They said it is partly done so I guess I can practice teamwork skills a lot. It would be lots of fun!

If I've done this task fast, I would like to challenge another task as well.

Lab 8: Automated Testing and Continuous Integration

-
When I developed a program, it was time-consuming to test all the functions I created when I add a feature. I needed to run each feature, check whether it gives expected output or not, and check all the output. It is possible I forgot to test a feature and later on, I realize I did not test the feature. I wonder if there any ways I can do it automatically. Now, I got the way how to do that. There is automated testing for it! To begin with it, I started searching the testing framework to apply my command-line tool named url-fi. There are some testing frameworks for Node.js such as Jest, Mocha, and AVA. The testing framework I chose is  Jest  which is a testing framework developed by Facebook. I've installed Jest running 'npm install --save-dev jest' and test whether it works properly or not.  This document  is the way I followed to install the Jest testing framework. After I've installed the Jest testing framework, I worked on separating functions. As my tool contains al

Open Source Project: Lab2 (Pull Request)

 Introduction In this lab, I practiced contributing and submitting pull requests to other repositories I don't own. Following the lab instruction , the things I plan to practice are the following: forking and cloning other projects creating branches to work on new features and fix bugs working on code I didn't write, trying to maintain the original style and not break things creating pull requests collaborating with other developers on GitHub updating my pull requests to include fixes for review comments The Project I picked for pull request ( https://github.com/lixiaoqity/testLink/pull/7 ) I looked around the classmates' open source project and picked the project named testLink. The GitHub repository link is the following:  https://github.com/lixiaoqity/testLink/pull/7 .  I picked this project because it also uses the NodeJS which I picked for my project. It was really interesting to see how code can be written differently for the same subject. When I look over the project

Introduction In this post, I will describe the summary of how I have done each stage. The purpose of this post is for wrapping up this project. The purpose of the project is the optimization of one open-source project. I need to compile, benchmark, profiling, and optimize the software. The detailed information about the project is described in the  SPO600 winter project .  Previous posts related to this project The previous posts for this project are listed below. You can read the detailed steps of how I have done each stage. Stage 1 Project Stage 1 - Compiling and Benchmark Butteraugli Stage 2 Project Stage 2 - Profiling Butteraugli Project Stage 2: Profiling (x86_64) The links for the results Project: Organize the Results Stage 3 Project Stage 3: Optimization Stage 1 Stage 1 is for building and benchmarking the performance of an open-source software package. There are some requirements for the open-source package I need to consider. Firstly, the time for testin
