[OpenAFS-devel] Interest in GSoC 2025 Project – Unit Test Automati on Framework for OpenAFS

[Sujal Bhor]

Dear OpenAFS Team,

Wishing the community a great day! I recently came across the Unit
Test Automation Framework project for OpenAFS under GSoC 2025 and
found it incredibly exciting. While I have limited experience with
some of the mentioned technologies, I am highly motivated to learn and
fully dedicate myself to this project.

I have a strong foundation in C and Python and have worked on software
testing (Load and Functional testing) in previous projects. However, I
am eager to deepen my understanding of unit testing frameworks,
particularly within the OpenAFS ecosystem. I am especially interested
in how the current unit tests function with C-TAP and Perl and how we
can build a more extensible and consistent testing framework.

Could you guide me on how to get started with OpenAFS, particularly in
terms of setting up the development environment and understanding the
existing unit tests? Additionally, any key resources or repositories I
should explore first would be greatly appreciated.

I am a quick learner and would love to contribute effectively. Looking
forward to your guidance and excited to collaborate as part of GSoC
2025!

Best regards,
Sujal
