OUTREACHY INTERNSHIP: WEEK ONE
Hey everyone,
Reflecting on my inaugural week as an Outreachy intern at ODK-X, with a focus on the project "Create Android tests for Services new file interface," I am eager to share the highlights of this immersive experience. The journey commenced on November 21st, 2023, when I received the email confirming my selection for the December 2023 Outreachy Winter internship.
Testing is a critical aspect of software development, ensuring accuracy, functional behavior, and usability. This project specifically targets software updates, addressing changes required by the latest releases to the Android OS. The new file system/storage will adopt Android's "scoped storage" for enhanced file/data protection. The goal is to create a comprehensive test suite to verify that the new code functions as expected, adopting an Acceptance test-driven development approach.
My CORE VALUES:
Curiosity: I'm like a kid in a candy store when it comes to trying new things. Curiosity keeps me asking questions and learning – after all, that's where the good stuff happens.
Flexibility: Change is the only constant, right? I'm all about rolling with the punches, adapting to whatever curveballs the tech world throws my way.
Team Spirit: We're all in this together. I see my work as not just a solo act but part of a team effort. Team spirit makes the journey more fun and the challenges less daunting.
In conclusion, the commencement of this internship marks a significant chapter in my professional trajectory. I extend my gratitude to Outreachy for affording me this opportunity, and I eagerly anticipate the unfolding chapters of this collaborative journey.
