Oops. I think I deleted the part of my reply explaining that :). What I meant to say is that the downside of text-only/programmatic tests is that you don't actually get a rendered page to look at. The downside of pixel tests is that you can get a rendered page that shows you what's wrong, but the rendered page often contains a bunch of "extraneous" things like explanatory text that can cause unnecessary diffs. It might be nice if we had better ways to filter out the parts that caused the unnecessary diffs. -- Dirk _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
