Re: [w3c/gamepad] TPAC 2025 status report (Issue #226)

nondebug left a comment (w3c/gamepad#226)

i. **Progress** – What has your spec achieved in the last 12 months?

* Added the [GamepadTouch](https://w3c.github.io/gamepad/#gamepadtouch-interface) interface to support gamepads with one or more touch surfaces.
* Added a [Model](https://w3c.github.io/gamepad/#model) section to define key gamepad concepts.
* https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/issues/219
  * Reviewed the current status of existing cross-browser and browser-specific Gamepad API web tests: [Evaluation of the existing gamepad testing frameworks across user agents](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gK-W5mirGWdERgcpX8KAcwYJphRubz4eoQ-wdilyJZk/edit?usp=sharing)
  * Created a [manual interop test suite](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop-gamepad/blob/main/manual-tests.html)
  * Collaboratively executed the manual test suite to exercise real-world usage scenarios and identify key gaps and inconsistencies in browser behavior ([notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oBV4K6rCZOn0p9XlMXBkLZBB-wcEPTUDtiCOwf_FusA/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.xarlmp6z56ks))
  * Defined interfaces for automation, laying the groundwork for future automated testing: https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/pull/224

ii. **Blockers** – Is anything preventing it from moving to CR or Rec?

Poor test coverage. It not possible to write cross-browser automated web platform tests to exercise gamepad behaviors.

iii. **Testing** – Is there a testing plan for this spec?

Yes, we are developing an automation API to enable better test coverage.

iv. **Next Steps** – How will you unblock it? Do you need help?

For 2026, we plan to:

* Implement the automation interfaces defined in 2025.
* Develop initial automated tests for core Gamepad API functionality.
* Validate test behavior across major browsers.
* Identify and document remaining spec ambiguities or implementation inconsistencies.
