Hi,

I’m writing a polyfill library that would like to use Web Platform Tests as unit tests, but I encounter a few obstacles:

- How to automate the tests in multiple browsers? More specifically, is it possible to integrate WPT into, say, saucelabs?
- Some tests are just too edge-case (e.g., toString(Event) should equal "[object Function]” or class=“name name” should only return one class name) to be covered by a polyfill library. Is it possible to cherry-pick tests without forking the project?

Or is WPT never meant to be used as unit tests for other libraries, and I’m looking at the wrong project?

Thanks.
