General

• Testing Layers & Hardware Acceleration (Clint & Jonathan)

Ideas of Methods

• • Crowd source testing a wide away of drivers/cards/hw using a reftest based extension
  • Targeted Cards/hardware testing
  • Normal Reftests

Types of Tests

• • WebGL/Canvas 3d
  • scaling, rotation, transforms of complex web content
  • animation, animations of translucent content
  • animations with other content above and/or below in z order
  • video playback, video inside 3-d containers
  • plugins atop these surfaces
  • scrolling (normal and of above tests)
  • font rendering (normal and on these surfaces)

Questions

• Are the test methods we are looking at sufficient?
• What are the most interesting types of tests to develop first?
• What are the tests that we are missing? What do you want tested?
• What are the interesting interaction points that should be exercised between the new layer architecture and the existing layout engine?
• What existing test artifacts can we use? (Things that you guys are using or things that the wider web is already using)
