Title: Web UI improvements

  • Description: Software Heritage can be accessed through a beautiful and rich Web UI, developed in Django. This project was aimed at improving the web interface (swh-web).
  • Mentors:
    • Antoine Lambert
    • Valentin Lorentz


  • Work highlights
    • Security testing : Various XSS vulnerabilities were fixed in the website.
    • End-to-end Testing : End-to-end tests were written for the website in Cypress (JavaScript framework). 71 percent JavaScript code coverage was achieved. These are end-to-end test are already being being executed for each swh-web diff.
    • Other Improvements : Language select option, improve responsiveness, some UI enhancements, improve image & pdf rendering, redirection for uppercase hash
  • What's left
    • We stand a bit away from 80% code coverage mark for the front-end JavaScript. There is scope of adding more cypress tests.
    • Origin search interface may be further improved. Some tests are already written for the same which should make the task easier.
    • Update of readme with information about end-to-end tests.
