**Project Description**

[RAPL] 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 [RAPL]. As [RAPL] 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 [RAPL]. For every not successfully working test case the cause for the error has to be determined and fixed in the [RAPL] implementation. A bigger part of [tcltest] package functionality has already been implemented in [RAPL] 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.

**Requirements:**

   * Passion for the task being suggested
   * Good knowledge of programming (especially Javascript, Tcl is not so important as a prerequisite)
   * It is helpful to have a general idea of testing strategies
