Overview

Contributors can help by finding new bugs, verifying existing bugs, polishing this documentation, and generally improving the quality of the various subsystems.

A good way to contribute to improving the quality of a subsystem would be to add automated tests for each of the features. Developers and contributors to the Dogtag Certificate System Project are encouraged to write unit tests for any new features, updates, and bug fixes being contributed. Where possible, the tests should be data driven. This allows for greater numbers of test cases, covering more of the features under testing, to be written with minimal effort. We suggest that tests be written in a scripting language such as Python for ease of maintenance.
