-    rake jasmine  # Runs in browser
-
-You can also force a run using phantomjs or the browser using the commands
-
-    rake jasmine:browser  # Runs in browser
-    rake jasmine:phantomjs  # Runs headless
-
-You can run tests for a specific subsystems as well
-
-    rake jasmine:lms  # Runs all lms javascript unit tests using the default method
-    rake jasmine:cms:browser  # Runs all cms javascript unit tests in the browser
-
-Use `rake -T` to get a list of all available subsystems
-
-**Troubleshooting**: If you get an error message while running the `rake` task,
-try running `bundle install` to install the required ruby gems.
-
-Unit tests can be run in parallel to each other and while acceptance tests are running
