Dear Working Group, first of all thanks for the tremendous work that has been put into the test suite. It really helps to improve the quality of our implementation. But there's still room for improvement ;) As a server-side implementation we have big interest to run the test suite on as many browsers as possible. But doing this by hand is time-consuming. It takes at least a day to run through all the tests and record the results just for one browser on one operating system. Using the tests for regression testing is therefore nearly impossible. We would also get much more reports from users by providing an automated test tool which can be run on their specific browser and operating system combination. Of course it would be great to formalize the assertions in an language independent format but that also seems to be a big job. A more pragmatic approach that already would help a lot would be to assign ids to all relevant elements in the forms like triggers, controls and submissions so they can be accessed more easily by the testing tool of your choice. If there's interest we would be willing to give a helping hand to accomplish this task. Regards, Joern Turner (for the Chiba Project)
