*My contributions*
1. Archive tests that are outdated or fail to run. https://github.com/fieldtrip/fieldtrip/pull/2273
2. Categorisation of Fiedtrip test functions based on the data they use. https://github.com/fieldtrip/fieldtrip/pull/2278


3. Scripted a function that ensures every user has the correct path to the test data and automatically downloads test data when needed. https://github.com/fieldtrip/fieldtrip/pull/2298



4. Write documentation and tutorial in the website to guide contributors on how to find, run and add new tests. https://github.com/fieldtrip/website/pull/693

5. Github action that suggests to the users which tests to run depending on their contribution. https://github.com/fieldtrip/fieldtrip/pull/2306


*To be continued*

6. Update the memory, runtime, functions and test files that every test script needs to run successfully. https://github.com/fieldtrip/fieldtrip/issues/2300
