Does anybody remember unit tests? But also a wicked kickin' readme!

The week that ended July (and from the weather patterns, ended summer as we know it also) was a little off-balance in terms of rhythm, with project lead David Humphrey away on vacation, his presence is clearly missed and noticed when it comes to uniform progress as a whole with the Mozilla Webmaker team.

Nevertheless, my fellow researchers and I met the issues to be faced this week with fierce tenacity and ambition to further lessen the remaining bugs in MakeDrive at its current state. The first half of the week preoccupied me with more unit test patches to land, with most of my time spend on a patch dealing with having to redesign some of the callback function signatures in the tests' infrastructure to cater to Node.js callback parameter conventions. Debugging galore ensued in order to correctly trace and follow the data passing inside of the callback hierarchy, but it ended up being invaluable learning experience.

Finishing the week, I took on the task of implementing the first comprehensive readme document for upcoming first users of MakeDrive. While initially daunting, this was accomplished with the help and insight of every member of the team pitching in on their section with their expertise and I believe that the final result speaks for itself.

This week will primarily concentrate on catching up with stress-testing Nimble with MakeDrive on the deployed page fellow team member Ali Al Dallal has up on the web. This will also be a wonderful opportunity to familiarize myself with emerging JavaScript and HTML5 technologies that Mozilla is already beginning to implement in its products and services such as Angular.js.
