Notes for students

Points to consider while choosing any project

1. You meet at least 50 percent of prerequirements. Remaining skills can be honed on the go, so don't worry if you lack some.

2. You can relate with the project idea and you have used something related to the project as user.

3. You are willing more toward learning the skills and less toward boasting about the skills you have already.

Suggested steps after choosing favourite project

1. Start to use product/tool/api as user or hello world client application.

2. Setup the development environment for project and start to use your own build.

3. Look for new comer bugs and try to get your head around them.

4. Let us know if you feel stuck at any stage.

AeroGear

Offline DataSynchronization on top of Apache Kafka and GraphQL Subscriptions

However in traditional messaging systems when client subscribes for the first time it is not going to get any previous messages. Purpose of this work will be to provide offline enabled data synchronization platform on top of GraphQL and Apache Kafka.

Technologies involved:

• AeroGear DataSync
• Debezium

Knowledge prerequisite: Nodejs, GraphQL, AeroGear DataSync, React, Apache Kafka

EAT  - Testing Infinite Software Project Versions

Summary of idea:

The innovative part of EAT is creating the test once and testing with any version of the tested software. It may be firstly applied for the JBoss Servers, but, in general, a similar structure, can be used for creating tests about any software with multiple versions or for multiple software programs that have a part of the testsuite in common. EAT is a project under the ΙΔΕΑ statement.

Possible tasks for this project :

Go through the EAT workshop, extending the existing AT testsuites, creating a new testsuite using the AT Structures, improving the dependency AT analyzer (dynamic testing), etc
