I don't think that these are applicable verbatim, but there may be some solution. Let's find it before assuming that we can have it. In particular, - editing a WebArchive is not really feasible; - jsfiddle is cool, but I can't just copy a WPT test to jsfiddle to share it. > Let me explain why I think that WebKit tests are often more valuable as > regression tests than WPT tests are.

We prioritize which tests to run all the time, there are whole configurations for which we don't run any tests. That's largely because it's not enough to simply run the tests - keeping them in a state where they produce actionable results requires a lot of attention. The time it takes to run tests definitely matters a lot for WebKit. So far we haven't taken a route like the one Robert mentioned, with a huge amount of hardware running shards of tests. There are multiple reasons to that, one of those being that we are very interested in finding bugs below WebKit too, and having dedicated testers helps with that. When the machine gets into a weird state after a few weeks of uptime, it is much easier to start isolating the problem when we can see which specific queues are hitting it. It is also much easier to reason about data collected by centralized systems, such as crash log collection services. - Alexey > I agree that we need to prioritize tests we investigate.
