javascript testcase writing --- for the "konqueror/khtml *" category in bugzilla
completed by: Pasta-K (Shoot MORII)
mentors: A. L. Spehr
Quick summary: write 10 testcases in javascript
Introduction:
Konqueror/KHTML has many bug reports. In rendering bug reports, if a report can be changed from "bigWebsite.com doesn't render" to "these 5 lines of javascript/html show a rendering error", the bug can be fixed much quicker and easier by developers.
Specific to this bug task:
This task is for the sub-sections in bugzilla called "konqueror/khtml *". If you search, you will see that some bugs have [testcase] in the title. Your job is to first make sure the bug still exists with the most recent version of trunk, then to reduce a long complicated webpage into a very simple testcase. i.e. you are finding which part of the webpage reproduces the rendering error.
Write a testcase for ten bug reports. You may want to get guidence from #khtml as to which are good choices.
Create a kde.techbase.org account and on your personal page, and write down what you work through. Leave a comment including your testcase on each bug report in bugs.kde.org.
More information:
Join irc on freenode. Anybody on #kde-bugs can help you some. It is not a channel to report bugs to, though!
Read the information in the topic of that irc channel --- any of the older Konqueror/KHTML BugDays will have information on how to write a testcase. This task is an item you can do multiple times, just ask for a new version of the task to be created.
Join #khtml, people there can help you. #konqueror exists, but is not an active channel.
