[GSoC07] Support for Mutation Testing in PHPUnit

php.internals

Hi, I would like to propose "Support for Mutation Testing in PHPUnit" [1] as an idea for this year's Google Summer of Code. I doubt that the PHPUnit project itself could take part as a mentoring organization. This is why I hope to get this project idea in under the umbrella of the PHP project. An argument in favour of this might be the fact that the implementation could use the parse_tree extension that was implemented during last year's GSoC. Best regards, Sebastian

I think that's a good idea. I would say you should go ahead and add the idea to our SoC page (http://php.net/ideas.php). BTW, we should start gathering ideas because the summer is not far away.

Indeed. Actually Students have to submit their proposals by March 24. So now is the time to compile the ideas page. I assume we are already registered as a mentoring organization with Google for this year? Here is the full timeline taken from the FAQ: What is the program timeline? March 5: Mentoring organizations can begin submitting applications to Google March 12: Mentoring organization application deadline March 13: Google program administrators review organization applications March 14: List of accepted mentoring organizations published on code.google.com; student application period opens March 24: Student application deadline Interim Period: Mentoring organizations review and rank student proposals; where necessary, mentoring organizations may request further proposal detail from the student applicant April 9: List of accepted student applications published on code.google.com Interim Period: Students learn more about their project communities May 28: Students begin coding for their GSoC projects; Google begins issuing initial student payments Interim Period: Mentors give students a helping hand and guidance on their projects July 9: Students upload code to code.google.com/hosting; mentors begin mid-term evaluations July 16: Mid-term evaluation deadline; Google begins issuing mid-term student payments August 20: Students upload code to code.google.com/hosting; mentors begin final evaluations; students begin final program evaluations August 31: Final evaluation deadline; Google begins issuing student and mentoring organization payments regards, Lukas

I am not really a politics fan, but if we are going to list project not under "the php.net umbrella" (PHPUnit isn't a php.net project anymore, is it?) don't we then have to list _all_ PHP related project ideas? I have nothing against a central page for all PHP related ideas but then it has to be open to _everyone_ to add their own PHP related ideas, not just the ones we like.... (No. I am not willing to add every wacky idea we would get) -Hannes

I understand and will remove the idea in question if you want.

I am not running the show, but I do think if its kept there we should give the same treatment to all other projects. -Hannes

I think we should allow non php.net project ideas as long as they are relevant to PHP. I have actually encourage the php doctrine author to consider proposing an SoC idea. regards, Lukas
