Of course, -being courteous is not the same as failing to constructively disagree -with each other, but it does mean that we should be respectful of each -other when enumerating the 42 technical reasons that a particular -proposal may not be the best choice. There's never a reason to be -antagonistic or dismissive toward anyone who is sincerely trying to -contribute to a discussion. - -Sure, C++ testing is serious business and all that, but it's also -a lot of fun. Let's keep it that way. Let's strive to be one of the -friendliest communities in all of open source. - -As always, discuss Google Test in the official GoogleTest discussion group. -You don't have to actually submit code in order to sign up. Your participation -itself is a valuable contribution. - -# Working with the Code # - -If you want to get your hands dirty with the code inside Google Test, -this is the section for you. - -## Compiling from Source ## - -Once you check out the code, you can find instructions on how to -compile it in the [README](../README.md) file. - -## Testing ## - -A testing framework is of no good if itself is not thoroughly tested. -Tests should be written for any new code, and changes should be -verified to not break existing tests before they are submitted for -review. To perform the tests, follow the instructions in -[README](../README.md) and verify that there are no failures. - -# Contributing Code # - -We are excited that Google Test is now open source, and hope to get -great patches from the community. Before you fire up your favorite IDE -and begin hammering away at that new feature, though, please take the -time to read this section and understand the process. While it seems -rigorous, we want to keep a high standard of quality in the code -base. - -## Contributor License Agreements ## - -You must sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) before we can -accept any code. The CLA protects you and us. - - * If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual CLA](http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html). - * If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work to Google Test, then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA](http://code.google.com/legal/corporate-cla-v1.0.html). - -Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and -instructions for how to sign and return it. - -## Coding Style ## - -To keep the source consistent, readable, diffable and easy to merge, -we use a fairly rigid coding style, as defined by the [google-styleguide](http://code.google.com/p/google-styleguide/) project. All patches will be expected -to conform to the style outlined [here](http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml). - -## Updating Generated Code ## - -Some of Google Test's source files are generated by the Pump tool (a -Python script). If you need to update such files, please modify the -source (`foo.h.pump`) and re-generate the C++ file using Pump. You -can read the PumpManual for details. - -## Submitting Patches ## - -Please do submit code. Here's what you need to do: - - 1. A submission should be a set of changes that addresses one issue in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/google/googletest/issues). Please don't mix more than one logical change per submittal, because it makes the history hard to follow. If you want to make a change that doesn't have a corresponding issue in the issue tracker, please create one. - 1. Also, coordinate with team members that are listed on the issue in question. This ensures that work isn't being duplicated and communicating your plan early also generally leads to better patches. - 1. Ensure that your code adheres to the [Google Test source code style](#Coding_Style.md). - 1. Ensure that there are unit tests for your code. - 1. Sign a Contributor License Agreement. - 1. Create a Pull Request in the usual way. - -## Google Test Committers ## - -The current members of the Google Test engineering team are the only -committers at present. In the great tradition of eating one's own -dogfood, we will be requiring each new Google Test engineering team -member to earn the right to become a committer by following the -procedures in this document, writing consistently great code, and -demonstrating repeatedly that he or she truly gets the zen of Google -Test. - -# Release Process # - -We follow a typical release process: - - 1. A release branch named `release-X.Y` is created. - 1. Bugs are fixed and features are added in trunk; those individual patches are merged into the release branch until it's stable. - 1. An individual point release (the `Z` in `X.Y.Z`) is made by creating a tag from the branch. - 1. Repeat steps 2 and 3 throughout one release cycle (as determined by features or time). - 1. Go back to step 1 to create another release branch and so on. - ---- - -This page is based on the [Making GWT Better](http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/makinggwtbetter.html) guide from the [Google Web Toolkit](http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) project.
