I was hoping that I could finish the evaluate stuff this week or Monday at the latest, then I'll start looking at the quadrature code.
I don't expect too many changes but I might be wrong. One problem with the January deadline is that it doesn't leave much time for testing. There is currently no unit test available for evaluate_basis and evaluate_basis_derivatives which I think is a big problem since it is quite impossible (for me) to check by simply looking at the code if the correct thing is computed.

What I would like to have is something simple like the simple_verify_tensor, which will evaluate all the dofs on an element at some arbitrary coordinate on some random cell (NOT the reference cell).
The derivatives should be evaluated up to the element degree.
We don't have to use the forms in the demo directory, instead we should just compile single elements of different type (including mixed) and degree.

It might also be a good idea to have similar tests for other functions of e.g., dof_map which have changed a lot?

The tests should be implemented in the 'old' FFC and verified by ffc/dev before we can release a new FFC.

We should also add references for simple_verify_tensors for the new forms you added and update the reference for the one you changed. (in the old FFC).
