David and all,
Thanks for the link and the Qt port advice... I'm still confused about what does DumpRenderTree do exactly!! Does it only set up WebKit to run a specific test case? Does it make any decision concerning wether the Layout test is failing or passing? if yes, can someone please tell me what part of the code is responsible for that and how browser specific it is?
Thanks,
-Reem
