Adam and All,
Thanks a lot for the explanation. You said that "run-webkit-tests" takes the resulting output and compares it to the expected output we have for each test that is checked in to the Subversion repository. How if I want to add my own tests? How can I generate the expected results text files? Any automated way to do that?
Thanks,
-Reem
