Testing/Test Framework TF/Test Framework Requirements

The test framework must support:

• automated test execution
• selection of tests to be executed
• operation in a privacy/NDA-enabling manner
• control of result data upload
• ... (add more)

For reference to additional requirements not given above, specific relevant aspects of this prior work are TBD:

• Web Testing IG
• Coremob Test Approach

testharness.js Improvements

These are suggestions to improve testharness.js to make it more appealing to developers used to working with Jasmine, qUnit, etc.

• More JS-y API (camelcase rather than underscore.) Keep previous API for backwards comp. e.g.:

asyncTest(function(t) {
    object.someevent = function() {
        t.step(function (){assertTrue(true); t.done();});
    };
}, "Simple async test");

• More conventional order of args (again, keep previous API for backwards compat):

asyncTest("Simple async test", function(t) {
    // assertions go here.
});

• Tests (apparently there are issues in some of the assertion methods)
• Nicer rendering of results.
• Documentation out of the src code and into the resource center.
