Description

Currently the test-runner is designed mainly for GPU vendors to test their drivers. However, it would be great to enhance it to generate WebGL conformance suite submissions for browser vendors.

The following changes would need to be made in order to do this:

  • Add an optional command line argument to re-enable the GPU driver bug workarounds the browser may have. (The default must continue to be to disable these workarounds.)
  • The harness would need to gather OS, GPU and graphics driver version information and add them to the results.

Research direction

Start with the test-runner CLI and harness described in the issue, focusing on how driver workarounds are controlled and how results are assembled. Done means an optional argument can re-enable browser GPU workarounds while the default remains disabled, and conformance results include OS, GPU, and graphics driver versions.
