Hello Veaceslav,

Thanks for contacting us. What you would need to do is check out
Amarok's code and evaluate current test coverage. Based on that, we
would like if you could come up with your own proposal on which and
how many tests you can do. We would of course like as many as possible
for all of Amarok. Familiarity with gmock would be a big plus for
this.

Cheers,
