## Presentation and review on the work Ruchiranga has done during the last week

Since the last meeting Ruchiranga completed writing the tests for the validate.js library and made a pull request against the develop branch of the projects repository.

https://github.com/joomla-projects/gsoc16_js-unit-tests/pull/7

Now he is working on the core.js library and currently has finished writing tests for the Joomla.submitform, Joomla.JText and Joomla.replaceTokens functions.

There are seven more functions in the core.js library to be tested according to the plan.

He also helped testing some JavaScript related PRs in the CMS.
