FOSS projects in need of testing (sopuli.xyz)

Hi, I'm currently enrolled in a CS course that requires me to build tests for one project. The professor incentivizes us to find FOSS projects in languages we understand, so the project goes more smoothly.

Is anyone aware of any medium sized python/java Foss projects in need of testing?

If you can't recall any with those requisites, send any other my way anyway. Thank you!

What do you think of this Python project? It’s called aurman, and it’s used by Arch Linux users to pull in packages from Arch User Repository (AUR), the unofficial package repo for Arch. It works as a wrapper around pacman, the standard Arch package manager.

I think it already has some tests written for it, (possibly short of a full suite), so you’ll be able to contrast your tests with the existing ones as an exercise, but also provide more within the same framework.
