Check your assumptions. In fact, check your assumptions at the
door. Lois McMaster Bujold

Think of it as a guided, collaborative combination of caniuse.com
quirksmode.org all those independet support tables
None
• identify and fix legal issues (who owns tests) •
moving to github in progress • extract meta data from specifications for test coverage analysis and linking
• centralize test efforts across WGs • run tests in
cloud and collect data • to build compatibility tables • show browser support in specifications, WebPlatform.org, anywhere
• use github for reviewing test suites • integrate adding
tests into WebPlatform.org • make submitting bugs off a test dead simple • painless local development environment
None
None
They‘re working on it!
Motivation?
your tests are run by W3C and browser vendors
collected data === articles, workshops, talks
insights into specifications & credibility for mailing lists
You are part of the web, start caring for it!
When the web is not doing what you want it
to, fight back, WRITE TESTS! Me, I think
Recap • if you write tests, use the W3C Infrastructure,
avoid proprietary things • don‘t wait for W3C to get their testing sorted completely, have some fun now* * good for HTML5 APIs already!
None
Thank You! Sadly no Q&A, grab me during breaks
