Task Description
Increase the code coverage of the BigInt PMC by at least 10%
Steps To Complete This Task
Currently, the BigInt PMC is at 59.5% code coverage, which is a bit low for such an important PMC. This task requires the student to write tests to increase the code coverage of this important PMC. The tests should be added to t/pmc/bigint.t- Create a fork of parrot.git on github.com
- Perform all the necessary code and/or documentation changes
- Build parrot and run it's test suite (make fulltest) to verify that things still work
- You can also submit a smoke report with "make smoke", but that is optional.
- Create a Github pull request (button on the upper right of your fork) to have your changes incorporated into the master repository
Benefits
- This will ensure there are no hidden bugs in our BigInts, which are a very important subsystem of Parrot.
Requirements
- Knowledge of writing tests and PIR
- Abillity to debug.
