 The unit tests for Buildbot's Angular components need to be expanded.
 That means more tests, but it also means more support code for those
 tests.  In particular, a realistic means of simulating the Buildbot server
 backend.  Ideally that would be a fake backend, and one that is guaranteed
 to match the real thing by use of RAML or JSON-Schema or similar API-
 description techniques.

 This project would involve picking the API-description technique, applying
 it in the Python code, and then writing the fake backend in !CoffeeScript.
 And writing tests that use the backend, to show that it works.

 There are other options here -- perhaps running the Buildbot master in a
 "test backend" mode that allows extra API calls.  The end result should be
 a way to realistically test Angular components against the Buildbot Data
 API.
