## Tasks for next week / Timeline

Improve the timeout in al tests ($timeout = 20). Change it to a constant and follow the default as in the documentation. For example in AcceptanceTester or better in an abstract class we extend.
Start preparing a draft guide (Google Doc - share it with us asap) , when to use Given, when and Then, like on https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Given-When-Then, but for our tests. See https://github.com/joomla-projects/gsoc16_browser-automated-tests/issues/46
Iterate over #44 and improve the things we talked about
Prioritize items at #35 and think on more
Implement #44 (User frontend scenarios) in pages and steps
