Hi, I wrote up some tests that I propose we consider for the longdesc spec. They are basically manual tests. Most of them are different combinations of longdesc types - internal "hash" reference, external url, data url, URL surrounded by whitespace - in different conditions - missing image, image is a data url, there is a base element, and so on. These can each be used to test 3 different requirements: whether the long description is available to a user, whether it is exposed to an accessibilty API if the user agent connects to one, and whether the user can discover that a long description is available. There are a couple of others I added to test specific things like what happens when the longdesc URL is changed by a script. There is probably something missing, and there may be errors in, or improvements to be made to the tests I propose. They are on github so you can propose changes as pull requests, if you're a github wiz - or by email if you like. We need a process for formally agreeing to adopt any test we want to use, and these are just personal input into that process...
