[webkit-help] where can i find the list of functionality covered by Layout Tests?

[SravanKumar Sandela]

Hi,

Layout tests have lots of beautifull options.
One out of them is to run a stand alone test. You can run it by just passing
the full path of the test as argument run-webkit-tests script. You can run
the test what ever you doubt about and see its results to find out what it
is doing. You can even run a category of tests just by passing directory
path to run-webkit-tests script.

running the tests individually is the best way to analyze what exactly they
are testing. So, please follow it and make a document for your self. And
once you are sure about your analysis, may be its not a bad idea to send it
across to webkit-help list. That way you would clarify your doubts more
clearly and would have helped the group a lot.

I am not working on webkit now to give u straight answers, but i can give
you generic ones like the once above :)

-Sravan.
