## AI overview

A GSoC progress update on ReactOS NTFS driver development. The author describes fixing driver bugs, upgrading an automated file-creation tester, and adding a verifier that compares files created in ReactOS with Windows behavior. The tester is intended to validate NTFS B-Tree code and filename ordering.

## Source excerpt

I won't lie; it's been a slow week, feature-wise. I guess you could say that last week was all about finding and fixing bugs and errors with the driver. During the first half of the week, I upgraded my automated tester to test file creation, and I fixed a couple of bugs it turned up. I used the second half of the week for addressing issues raised by CR-123.
