           Summary: Builders shouldn't build revisions that only change
                    test files (but testers should still test them)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (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

When a revision is committed that only changes test files, the build.webkit.org builders first build the change, then the build.webkit.org testers download that build and test it.

It's silly for the builders to build in this case, since no source files have changed. It would be better and faster if the builders would just skip this revision and the testers would use the last build the builders produced to test with.
