Testing/Web & TV Testing Discussions//Improve Web Platform Consistency

From Web and TV IG

Improve consistency of web platform: Why?

Cost of Web App support across browsers still high: - Leading PC browsers are converging, but - New mobile, TV and device browsers - Cost is multiplied across companies and over time

Three legs of API definition: Specs, docs & tests - Specs: All working on common HTML5 spec - Docs: All working in webplatform.org - Tests: Can we work together?

Improve consistency of web platform: How?

Build mechanism for app community to report inconsistencies: - Leverage webplatform.org? - W3C generate tests corresponding to reported issue - Resolution could be implementation bug or spec bug

Review libraries (e.g. Modernizr) for platform accommodation - Review code, discuss with teams - W3C generate tests corresponding to reported code

Outreach/Workshops with major web app developers - Identify pain points - Prioritize testing work to match needs
