This prints a text representation of the layout of a page. For testing you then create a fixed input (html), and compare the dump against a fixed expected result (these are called the LayoutTests) The equivalent in Chrome is test_shell.exe, which is a stripped down version of the browser (mainly just rendering and network components) It dumps this same representation when passed the --layout-tests flag, and is used by build bots to run the WebKit layout test suite. The current porting effort is going towards just this -- get test_shell limping along on other platforms. > with the only purpose to > extend the ChromeBot capabilities and reach sites not present in the > "most likely to be used from users" list. It would be sweet if chrome-bot could verify the result of loads However that is not what it currently does. Currently chromebot loads pages from the web, verifying that there is no crash. To verify that the load is "correct" is somewhat trickier, since the pages we run across are regularly changing. > > Does this makes sense? > > It would be also a nice way to see something in action for linux/mac > users and developers.
