Expected Results: Completion of the development milestones listed in the project.CLI applications can perform various operations such as network calls, file system reads / writes. CLI applications should be tested in different environments to make sure the intended functionality works as expected. Current software development adopts containers to create different testing environments. Similarly CLI applications can make use of containers to test the functionalities, specially the ones which do intense I/O operations. Thus a testing suite based on containers can be useful for testing CLI applications. Further this can be run in a CI environment along with the unit and integration tests. Example - $ anzen --env=dockerfile myCliApp arg1 arg2. This would run the command line application in the specified docker environment using the dockerfile (This can be configured differently).
Expected Results: Implementation of a Docker based test suite tool for CLI applicationsTools such as Watchtower, and Ouroboros provide mechanisms to update containers primarily in intervals. Above mentioned tools use a pull based method to check updates from the Docker registry and update running containers. With a push based approach using webhooks from docker hub, the flexibility of configuring Docker tags can be improved with a novel implementation. References - https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower, https://github.com/pyouroboros/ouroboros
Expected Results: Implementation on the pull based engine to subscribe to webhooks and update running containers.S-Chain is a food origin/transport tracking application on top of blockchain. If you buy a pack of Tea from a Shop there is no option to find or guarantee the origins of the tea leafs that made them who processed them and all sort of other details. Even if we do so there is no way we can do so without a central authority. But due to the emergence of the block chain we can do all above without a central governing body. What we provide is the implementation of the blockchain technology for this process by using our available S-Chain platform. This software platform, has implemented this blockchain-enabled traceability using Hyperledger Sawtooth. So the customer can authenticate the origin of the product.

Chainkeeper is a web-based application which can be used to retrieve Bitcoin blockchain data via API support from BlockSci core blockchain data. In analytics perspectives, this approach is highly inefficient due to some constraints. Therefore, needs to build a library for ChainKeeper which acts as data and analytical interface for blockchain to retrieve relevant data by writing queries. There should be blockchain supportable classes such as Blockchain, Blocks, Transactions, Input, Output and Address with range support. This library needs to support python with more optimization techniques.
Expected Results:Bitcoin blockchain is a huge data structure with 180+GB in size. Due to this huge size available Bitcoin parsers take several hours to parse the entire blockchain. As an example BlockSci parser takes 11 hours with an 8GB cache. Because of that most of the available Bitcoin parsers are inefficient on memory constrained devices. The goal of this project is to design and implement a Bitcoin parser(may support forks of Bitcoin as well) which can use available memory efficiently to reduce blockchain parsing time on memory constrained devices.
