           Summary: run-webkit-tests should run failing tests so it's easier
                    to spot fixed tests
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: aroben at apple.com


The current mechanism for dealing with failing regression tests is to put them
in a Skipped file, which means that under normal conditions the tests will
never be run. This makes it hard to know when a test is fixed. It would be nice
if we could check in the failing results for tests but mark them as known
failures. After a test run, run-webkit-tests could tell you which tests failed
(as it currently does), and which known failures had different results.
