Hi,

I'd like to contribute to tor core by writing any unit tests that need to be done. Can anyone please help me out by pointing out the code/modules that needs to be tested?

Hi, Ajay! I've been meaning to write an all-purpose "how to test Tor" document, but until I can get that done, here's how I find out what to test. I take the latest version of the git master branch, and I configure it with the --enable-coverage option. Then I run "make check" , and "mkdir tmpdir" and "./scripts/test/coverage tmpdir". That creates a bunch of .gcov files in the temporary directory "tmpdir", which shows which lines have coverage. (All the lines beginning with ### are lines that were not visited by the unit tests.)

In other words: ./configure --enable-gcc-warnings --enable-coverage make make check mkdir tmpdir ./scripts/test/coverage tmpdir

I've run this on today's master branch, and put the results in http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/volatile/tor-coverage-be90580.tar.bz2 (This URL is temporary.)

I've also attached a list of the modules in Tor, sorted by the fractions of lines covered by tests today. The numbers after each line are the number of uncovered lines, the number of covered lines, and total percentage of covered lines.
