Hi Django Mentors,
I am Khushbu Wagh, a Full-stack Web Development student from India. I have been exploring Django’s GSoC 2026 ideas and I am very excited about the project ‘Switch to Playwright tests for integration testing’.
I have experience with JavaScript and building responsive UIs, and I want to dive deeper into automated testing within the Django ecosystem. I have already started reading the project description and the related GitHub issues.
Could you please guide me on the initial steps? Are there any ‘easy-pick’ tickets or small tasks related to testing that I can pick up to get familiar with the codebase?
Looking forward to contributing and learning!
Best regards,
Khushbu Wagh

- Also read the blog post at Getting Started Contributing to Django · Better Simple (Among all the other useful information, there’s specifically a section with resources on finding appropriate tickets.)
Feel free to ask questions here if there’s anything in those references that you don’t understand or if you get stuck.

Hi again! Just an update: I’ve been diving deeper into the Django internals as we discussed. I specifically looked into Ticket #9173 and located the IfNode class within django/template/defaulttags.py.
I have a good understanding of how the conditional logic is structured now. Before I start implementing the fix, I wanted to confirm if this is the right place to make changes for this specific ticket. Looking forward to your guidance!
