http://testthewebforward.org/docs/ is sort of a place to start, kinda.

But in terms of evaluating what you can do with them, the upshot is that you have a web server running on a localhost port, you have HTML, JS, etc on that server.  You use http://testthewebforward.org/docs/testharness-library.html to write the actual tests.

There are some tests for getRandomValues at https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/tree/master/WebCryptoAPI that you can examine if that helps.

You can also run the tests directly on the web at https://w3c-test.org/WebCryptoAPI/test_getRandomValues.html (or the same with http:// if desired).

One benefit of using web platform tests for this is that I know for a fact that both Chrome and Firefox are running them in continuous integration, with periodic syncs from the upstream repo, and I belive Microsoft is as well (e.g. they have a fork of that repo at <https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/web-platform-tests>).

Another benefit is that it should be pretty easy to use the existing automation bits it has to generate reports on which browsers pass which tests.

A third benefit is that anyone can contribute tests and all that.  ;)

​Well, those all sound like quite compelling benefits. Unless anyone has an opinion to the contrary I suggest we work on putting a full suite of WebCrypto tests there. I can start by migrating the Netflix test suites.
