<p>
This document is intended to be used as a guideline for the testing
activities related to the CSS Shapes Level 1 spec [[!css-shapes-1]]. Its main
goal is to provide an overview of the general testing areas, possible
caveats and testing aspects not immediately apparent from the spec.
Also, it provides a means of tracking the progress of the CSS Shapes
spec testing.
</p>
<p>
This document is not meant to replace the spec in determining the
normative and non-normative assertions to be tested, but rather
complement it.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Goals</h2>
<p>
To ensure a comprehensive test suite with useful, high quality tests, a
number of goals are proposed. They range from process goals (how to
conduct testing) to implementation goals (how to write good tests).
</p>
<section>
<h3>Enabling easy test contribution</h3>
<p>
An important vector in successfully testing CSS Shapes is to
enable easy test contributions, both from W3C partners and from
non-W3C members that wish to contribute. This is achieved by clearly
marking and explaining the areas that need testing, linking to existing
tests, and general testing progress.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Providing guidance on testing</h3>
<p>
In order to increase the quality of the test contributions, this
document offers a set of guidelines for conducting testing (see
<a href="#approach" class="sectionRef"></a>) and a testing progress
tracker to increase the surface coverage of tests (see
<a href="#test-progress-tracking" class="sectionRef"></a>).
</p>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Creating automation-friendly tests</h3>
<p>
In terms of actual tests produced for the CSS Shapes specification, the main goal
is to ensure that most tests are automatable (i.e. they're either
reftests or use <code>testharness.js</code>). Even where manual tests
are absolutely necessary they should be written so that they can be
easily automated – as there are ongoing efforts to make
WebDriver [[webdriver]] automated tests a first class citizen in W3C
testing. This means that even if a manual test requires user
interaction, the validation or PASS/FAIL conditions should still be
clear enough as to allow automatic validation if said interaction is
later automated.
</p>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Approach</h2>
<p>
Since the CSS Shapes Level 1 spec introduces only three new CSS properties,
the approach is to deep dive into every aspect of the spec as much as possible.
Tests will be created for the testing areas listed in <a href="#testing-areas" class="sectionRef"></a>.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Testing areas</h2>
<section>
<h3>Explicit testing areas</h3>
<p>
These are testing areas normatively defined by the spec. They cover
things explicitly or implicitly defined in the CSS Shapes spec.
Please note that while detailed, this list is not necessarily
exhaustive and normative behaviors may not be contained in it.
When in doubt, consult the CSS Shapes spec or ask a question on the
list</a>.

<h4>Proper parsing of the CSS properties and values according to the spec</h4>
<p class=note>
Note: For all of the tests below, where length parameters are tested,
the supported <a class="production css-code" data-link-type=type href=http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#lengths title="<length>"><length></a>
units defined in the CSS Values & Units [[!CSS3VAL]] specification, but not all permutations will not be
tested. Instead, a sampling of these units will be used across the parsing and layout tests.

<h3>Implicit testing areas</h3>
<p>
These are testing areas either normatively defined in other specs
that are explicitly referred to in the CSS Shapes spec. Additionally, the
CSS Shapes spec is explicitly referred to by other specs. Please note that
while detailed, this list is not necessarily exhaustive and normative behaviors
may not be contained in it. When in doubt, consult the CSS Regions spec or ask
</p>
<p>
Below is the list of implicit testing areas:
<ul>
<li>CSS 2.1 [[!CSS21]]</li>
<li>CSS Box Model [[!CSS3BOX]]</li>
<li>CSS Values & Units [[!CSS3VAL]]</li>
<li>CSS Backgrounds & Borders [[!CSS3BG]]</li>
<li>HTML5 [[!HTML5]]</li>
<li>CSS Masking [[CSS-MASKING]]</li>
<li>CSS Exclusions [[CSS-EXCLUSIONS]]</li>
</ul>
</p>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Interactions with other CSS features & specifications</h3>
<p>When the CSS Shapes spec has a full suite of tests covering the behaviors defined in the spec,
additional tests will be needed to assure that the implementation works properly with other
CSS features defined in other specifications.
</p>
<p>Below is a list of features that should work properly with CSS Shapes:</p>
<ul>
<li>CSS Transforms</li>
<li>CSS Transitions</li>
<li>CSS Animations</li>
<li>CSS Exclusions</li>
<li>CSS Writing Modes - when the float and container have different 'writing-mode' and 'direction' properties</li>
</ul>

<h2>People and responsibilities</h2>
<p>
Below is a list of people you should reach out to if you have any
questions related to this document or testing CSS Shapes in general:
<ul>
<li>Alan Stearns – Editor for CSS Shapes spec</li>
<li>Rebecca Hauck – Test Coordinator for CSS Regions</li>
</ul>
</p>

<h2>Test progress tracking</h2>
<p>
Currently test progress tracking is done via gitHub
<a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-test/issues?labels=spec%3Ashapes&milestone=&page=1&state=open">milestones
and issues</a>.
<!-- FIXME: Add more details once issues were created for all test areas. -->
