Online CodeRefinery Workshop and Hackathon on Software Testing

How to join

Either A. Both workshop and hackathon, or B. Only workshop

• There are two ways to attend: only workshop on day 1 or both workshop and hackathon on days 1 and 2.

• It is not necessary that all team participants choose the same option.

Participation as a team

• If you collaborate with other people on writing code, we recommend that you all register to the event as a team. You can also sign up as a team even if you don't directly collaborate on coding.
• Teams will be working together in breakout rooms during the event and get paired with the same mentor. Team members should preferably use the same programming language.
• Decide a team name, and when registering, everyone enters this team name so that we can link you together. Note that everyone on the team must register separately.

Participation as a single learner

• Single learners are welcome! You don't have to write anything to the "team name" question in the registration form.
• During the exercise sessions in the workshop, 5-6 single learners are grouped into a breakout room to work together. Our instructors and mentors will be jumping around breakout rooms and answer any questions.
• However, please note that hackathon participants in teams will get more mentor time than single participants.

To maximize benefit of the Hackathon

• When registering, please write a description of the project you want to work on together with a mentor. Write what your code does, what language it's expressed in, whether it already has some tests, and what you would like to accomplish in the hackathon.
• To derive maximum benefit from the hackathon, we recommend that you make your code available in some form so that mentors can prepare.
• In the registration form you can provide a web address to your code repository if it's publicly available. If your code is not public, we will ask you to share it with a mentor before the hackathon.

Price and Zoom priority policy

Free of charge, funded by the Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration and the EuroCC National Competence Center Sweden.

When we have more sign-ups than our capacity allows, the following priority criteria apply.

1. National universities or research institutes in Nordic countries and Estonia

3. European national universities or research institutes from outside the Nordics.
4. Others

Therefore it is very important that you use an email address corresponding to your affiliation.

FAQ

• Why should I join with a team? If you will work together later, learning the tools at the same time is a great way to do it.

• How does the waitlist work? Anyone can register, but everyone goes to the waitlist. After the 3rd March, We'll continually approve people as we get space.

• Does it matter where I work or study? Because of the Nordic funding of CodeRefinery by NeIC and Swedish funding of ENCCS we need to have a priority list described above.
