APWTCL is a Tcl interpreter written in Javascipt to run in a browser or in a Javascript environment. The implementation has a very limited test suite. It would be great, if the relevant parts of the Tcl, Itcl, Jim Tcl testsuite would be made available also for APWTCL. As APWTCL has for example no I/O and no threads etc. these parts are not relevant. The other parts eventually have to be adapted to be usable for APWTCL. For every not successfully working test case the cause for the error has to be determined and fixed in the APWTCL implementation. A bigger part of tcltest package functionality has already been implemented in APWTCL for use by the testsuite and has successfully been used for the existing tests. There are potentially a lot of hundreds of tests to be ported. A smaller subset of these tests has to be made available in this GSoC project.
