We just had a small discussion on webapps-testsuite [1] about the
possibility of moving the webapps tests. I was wrongly under the
impression that we had discussed this before (hey, confusion is not a
crime ;) ). Now that HTML has done the move, I think it is time for
us to look at it too. Ms2ger and Robin, which did most of the HTML
testsuite [2] move were happy to help [3].
Ms2ger proposed merging our repository with HTML at the same time and
not necessarily having one repository for each group. I was already
thinking such a move might be beneficial to do for webapps and
webappsec, but it might be even more simple to also have html
testsuite in that merge.
Robin wrote an email describing what they did for the HTML move, some
of which should be relevant for our potential move too [4]. Of
particular interest the possibility for having tests in folders by
section of the spec, and making submissions pull requests.
I'm interested in such a move because it'll make our tests more
visible, and easier to contribute to. Just this weekend the Server
Sent Events spec got 6 pull requests from a GitHub user "Yaffle" [5].
Note that that particular repository will be moved into however our
new test repository structure will be, so it probably won't remain as
a separate repository.
Before we start a CfC to change WebApps' agreed testing process
[Testing], please make a clear proposal regarding the submission
process, approval process, roles, etc. as is defined in [Testing] and
its references. (My preference is for you to document the new process,
expectations, etc. in WebApps' Public wiki, rooted at
<http://www.w3.org/wiki/Webapps/>).
Also, what is the expectation regarding [Framework]? Does your proposal
include still using it? If yes, will there be automagic mirroring of
github changes to w3c-test.org?
-Thanks, AB
