Dominique Hazael-Massieux has created a CGI-based harness for the Mobile Web Initiative's test suites. We plan to extend this harness and use it for the CSS conformance tests and implementation reports. One of the very neat things about the MWI test harness is that it associates the results with a user agent string. This means there's no need for users to log in or to select their UA. They just load a test and click Pass/Fail/Can't Tell.
See discussion on public-css-testsuite.
These are the improvements we'd like to see, numbered roughly by priority.
<object>
to contain the test and pass/fail buttons on the containing page rather than inside the test file. (This format is good for browsers.) The <object>
will contain a hypertext link to the test as fallback.In both cases the test itself should be referenced as a link, not fed through the CGI script. (This avoids tampering with the HTTP headers that normally get served up with the tests.)
