If we recorded all the tests that were run then the report would be huge. I don't see anything wrong with recording tests that have passed but I think there's a simpler way of doing this. > I think this is useful "proof" of what has been tested, how, and why the > tool claims certain assertions. > Yes, I agree. The conformance statement should state which tests have been run and if all the tests pass then the content conforms. For example the conformance claim could state that test #1 was run (all images have an alt attribute) and if the test passes then the content conforms. I don't think it's necessary to state that the first image has an alt attribute and the second image has an alt attribute and the third image etc. You just need to state that all images have an alt attribute.
