Cage Cleaners

The Parrot Cage Cleaners help watch the corners of the Parrot Project and keep the technical debt low.

Initial high-level goals

  • Enforcing coding standards, naming conventions, etc.
  • Smoke testing on many platforms
  • Decreasing the amount of repeated code
  • Automated generation of C headers
  • Improve low-level code quality.
  • Creating automated code checking tools.
  • Documenting function behavior and structure members
  • Developing coverage tools where they don't exist
