Title: Web Platform Tests (WPT) Results Explorer
Mentor: James Graham (:jgraham, irc, github)

The Web Platform Tests are a set of cross browser validation tests designed to validate common functionality on the web between browsers. The source code can be found on github. Mozilla runs these tests inside our CI system, as do many vendors.

This project will result in creating a tool which ingests the logs from a test run and displays them in a webUI. Keep in mind there are thousands of tests, so an easy way to filter and sort the data will be critical here. Once this is achieved, we should be able to take two or more different log files and compare them side by side in the tool.

To learn more about this project we recommend:

  • TODO


The list of good first bugs and other specs/subprojects are outlined here.

Things we are looking for in an ideal contributor for this project:

  • Basic knowledge of Python and Javascript
  • Great ideas for displaying and filtering data
  • Willing to learn or apply skills in building a basic web based tool
  • Willing to learn and work with standardized tests
  • Eagerness to try ideas out, ask questions, accept feedback, and learn new things
