[GSoC 2022] How to begin contributing?

Hello all, My name is Tejesh Anand, a first year computer engineering student. I'm interested applying for the task of writing more unit tests for edk2. I wanted to ask if anyone had any advice for a first issue to begin to contribute with?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Tejesh,

Sorry your mail doesn't get much activity. I think parsing-related 
things are most important:

- String functions in BaseLib: 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/55637a2894babca97945eeca1da0d431f74f8627/MdePkg/Library/BaseLib/String.c

- DevicePathLib: 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/55637a2894babca97945eeca1da0d431f74f8627/MdePkg/Library/UefiDevicePathLib

I/O and protocols could also be interesting:

- Many firmware have this in prod, maybe UART: 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseSerialPortLib16550/BaseSerialPortLib16550.c

Maybe security guarantees:

- TCG Measuring is frankly very overcomplicated, but key: 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/SecurityPkg/Library/DxeTpm2MeasureBootLib/DxeTpm2MeasureBootLib.c

- Basically SMAP in software: 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/55637a2894babca97945eeca1da0d431f74f8627/StandaloneMmPkg/Library/StandaloneMmMemLib/StandaloneMmMemLib.c

Good luck with your proposal!

Best regards,
Marvin
