Support external testing/certification organizations: Why?

HTML5 being built into external specs:

  • DLNA, OIPF, DTG, ...
  • Many of these organizations provide testing and/or certification

Current reference to W3C tests by external groups problematic:

  • Tests in many locations that can move
  • Sometimes working or not
  • No clear contact points
  • NOTE: W3C should not do certification,but should provide the ruler that others use to measure.


Support external testing/certification organizations: How?

Define a single page for external testing:

  • Central: one home for all W3C tests
  • Configurable: which specs and tests to run
  • One click: to run all tests
  • Results: detailed pass/fail results for each test to take away
