[Test Harness] Additions to the test harness

Hi public-html-testsuite,

In the Web Performance WG, we would like to integrate some additional common functionality into the common testharness.js that is being developed in the HTML WG [1]. This functionality currently resides under the resources folder under WebPerf[2].

These helper functions abstract the testing of Booleans, Equality and Greater than. We'd like to add the following helpers to testharness.js:

     //
     // Common helper functions
     //

     function test_true(value, msg) {
         test(function () { assert_true(value, msg); }, msg);
     }

     function test_equals(value, equals, msg) {
         test(function () { assert_equals(value, equals, msg); }, msg);
     }

     function test_greater_than(value, greater_than, msg) {
         test(function () { assert_true(value >= greater_than, msg); }, msg);
     }

I welcome your feedback on this matter. I'd like to get this integrated into the testharness.js file by the end of day Wednesday 1/26/2011.

Thanks,
Anderson Quach
