I have great passion for open source. I have been using Fedora since 2011. I could contribute to Fedora when I got selected in the Round 7 of OPW internship. I have been working on Unit Test SSSD from past 3 months. Projects Unit Test SSSD The general idea for the unit tests was to cover the two most important parts: ● retrieving user information. ● authenticating users. The unit testing framework focused on the core SSSD features that are enabled in most of SSSD deployments. Main focus was on testing authentication(PAM) and identity information(NSS). Project plan The initial stage of my work deat with, becoming familiar with SSSD and learning concepts of cmocka unit­testing framework as mentioned here: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/DesignDocs/TestCoverage Patches This test coverage helped raising the confidence in SSSD, which is the central piece of modern enterprise authentication on Linux. I could successfully tested different modules of SSSD with consistent code cleanup. Patches were merged with source code. https://github.com/PallaviKumariJha/SSSD-OPW-13-14
