Fwd: WebIDL Testing Plan: who is doing what (and why) by when?

With hindsight, I should have just included public-webapps-testsuite on

Hi All,

I'm trying to understand the overall testing plan for Web IDL,
especially what specifically must be done to get the Web IDL v1 [CR] to
pass its CR exit criteria [Exit]. By plan here, I'd like to understand
who is doing what, (the `why` part presumably is obvious) and by when.

We have at least the following resources and activities but I don't
quite understand how they fit together re moving the spec to PR. For
example, which efforts are required to move WebIDL to PR, is there a
commitment to complete the required pieces, which efforts are obsolete, etc.

* Web IDL parser: there are at least two [idlharness.js] and
[webidl2.js]. Which one should be used for CR testing; has anyone
committed to maintaining and completing the parser; how is it used
vis-a-vis the CR exit criteria?

* Travis' Web IDL Test Plan [Travis]. Is this still active; how does
does fit into the overall plan; how is it related to Cameron's tests and
the various parser work?

* Cameron's Web IDL tests submitted May 12 [Cameron]. How does this
relate to Travis' plan and the parser work?

* Online WebIDL checker [Online]. Is this current with the Web IDL [CR];
do we recommend it be used; is anyone maintaining this or do we consider
it obsolete?

Philippe - since we haven't been able to get someone in WebApps to
proactively drive the WebIDL CR testing effort, is this something a W3C
Team member can lead or at least help?

-Thanks, AB
