           Summary: consider changing the outcome keywords in the
                    expectations file
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dpranke at chromium.org
                CC: mjs at apple.com, darin at apple.com, tony at chromium.org,

the current list of outcome keywords are:

AUDIO 
CRASH 
FAIL
IMAGE
IMAGE+TEXT 
PASS 
TEXT
TIMEOUT

(I'm ignoring SLOW and REBASELINE; those are separate discussions)

To be clear, IMAGE means *just* the PNG fails to match, TEXT means *just* the .txt fails to match, and IMAGE+TEXT means both fail. IMAGE+TEXT does not mean "either is allowed to fail".

FAIL is a "legacy" keyword that is interpreted as "any of IMAGE, IMAGE+TEXT, TEXT".

It has been suggested -- :) -- that we should use different names and/or a switched to lower or mixed case for the keywords, and that perhaps some of the keywords should be consolidated and/or removed.

For the record, I'm okay with (but don't have a strong preference for) switching to lower case depending on what other changes to the syntax of the file occur. I'm not a fan of mixed-case keywords. I have not yet seen any proposals for new keywords I prefer to the existing format.
