## Selenium server standalone:

There are issues reported related to an update in selenium after 2.47.1. See https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/issues/2840 . Not an issue for us now, but we will have problems with it for sure.

New pull from Jelle adding drivers other than Firefox: https://github.com/joomla-projects/selenium-server-standalone/pull/10

## Codeception tests for Weblinks

Missing tests for responsive screens, still a todo for any takers: https://github.com/joomla-extensions/weblinks/issues/143

Prital and Kshitij offered to have a look.

## Codeception tests for Webservices (Javier)

We need to wait for API tests for updates at: https://github.com/joomla-projects/webservices (Joomla 3.6)

We have a request for to help moving this tests to PHPUnit or Codeception https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/8747 and https://github.com/chrisdavenport/service/tree/master/Tests

## Documentation (Javier, Kshitij and Valerie)

Documentation at https://docs.joomla.org/Testing_Joomla_Extensions_with_Codeception

Javier: I updated a bit moving from old com_localise tests examples to com_weblinks

## Unit Tests status

Yves: sample draft how to bootstrap joomla to run unit tests for extensions (in this case com_weblinks) https://github.com/joomla-extensions/weblinks/pull/190

but it still need work.. as japplication get site uses database.. (session table) we need mockups / stubs for that, maybe we can reuse parts of the joomla stuff

## Tests in Joomla 4

no news

## Status of Selenium System Tests at Joomla (Kshitij & Puneet)

no updates

## QA Scripts (Code Style) and others at Jorobo project

Robert: Looked into it and made some changes to use the proper functions for messaging, PR is in the queue, sat together with Yves and looking into his PR, going to check it and merge it, not sure if I do it before I merged the cleanup or later

We need testers for Jorobo pending pulls: https://github.com/joomla-projects/jorobo
