Muslim,

I was just laying out the priority order of the modules that we need to have test coverage for so we can start refactoring. I haven't worked out the details of how many tests, what needs to be mocked, what fixtures are needed... at this point I just know that there will have to be fixtures and mocks. It's my understanding of the GSoC application process that most of the details, including the goals, are worked out during the application process.

As for interdependencies, I have a private branch, called "introspection", which you can see in my Github fork at https://github.com/jralls/gnucash. I've run gobject-introspection on Qof and engine. Now I'm working on an XSLT stylesheet to convert the Gir to UML-XMI, which I will feed to argouml and produce a class diagram that should cast some light on class interdependencies and inheritance. I hope to have a basic diagram made in a week or two, and I'll put it up on the Gnucash Wiki when I do.
