UI testing is very difficult in JabRef. Leave it out. One could, nevertheless, test the ViewModel class behavior. |

This is a highly-demanded feature of JabRef. One has to run LibreOffice to understand that feature request. Testing is nearly impossible, because it involves a third-party tool. |

File folders: Move between global and user-specific folder |

JabRef’s file handling is sophisticated. JabRef offers three directories to store PDFs. This has to be understood - and then this issue should be doable. |

Add user-specific comment field |

The implementation involves both JavaFX code (for the entry editor) and working on the logic of BibEntries. The tests should cover the logic of comment reading and writing. The tests do not need to contain tests for the UI |

The critical thing in this issue is to understand the difference between a choice of content. There should be test cases written. |

JabRef’s file handling is sophisticated. JabRef offers three directories to store PDFs. The PDF needs to be placed in the correct folder. That code exists, but has to be found. |

The development should really be done in a test-driven way. There should always be JUnit tests for the implementation to enable easier “code-and-fix” development. |

This is a very useful user feature. Since it interplays with loading and saving, the functionality should be thoroughly tested. |

Adding a new fetcher is a hard task, because one a) has to understand the code infrastructure of JabRef and b) understand the external API |

Support Worldcat.org as fetcher |

One of the first actions should be to try whether oneself has access to Worldcat data. Howe to retrieve an API key etc. If that is not possible, another issue should be chosen. |

The issue is to understand where in the code BibEntry objects are generated based on retrieved data. At all places, the preference to generate keys on fetching should be respected. |
