Agila Forge Contributor Practice

Module 1 – Choose, reproduce, and test

Page 2 of 3 · About 15 minutes per lesson, including practice.

Record a reproducible baseline

15-minute session: read for 3 minutes, trace for 3, experiment for 7, and complete the check for 2. Spend longer whenever you need.

A test result is tied to a commit, toolchain, target, and command. Record git rev-parse HEAD, compiler versions, and make test output before editing. If the baseline fails, investigate that failure before attributing it to your patch. Redact secrets from logs.

Your experiment

Create a baseline report with the exact command and observed result. Mark any target you did not run as untested.

Practice and evidence

Keep three notes: your prediction, the actual result, and why they match or differ. The completion check grades understanding; the practice task builds skill.
