+# W3C Browser Automation Specification Tests
+
+This repository defines a set of conformance tests for the W3C web
+browser automation specification known as WebDriver. The purpose is
+for the different driver implementations to be tested to determine
+whether they meet the recognized standard.
+
+## How to run the tests
+
+1. Go to the WebDriver tests: `cd _WEBDRIVER_TEST_ROOT_`
+2. Run the tests: `python runtests.py`
+3. Run the test against a different config specified in webdriver.cfg:
+ `WD_BROWSER=chrome python runtests.py`
+
+To be run a specific test file you can just run `python test_file.py`
+
+Similarly you can specify a different browser to run against if in webdriver.cfg:
+ `WD_BROWSER=chrome python ecmascript/ecmascript_test.py`
+
+Note: that you will need likely need to start the driver's server before running.
+
+## Updating configuration
+
+The _webdriver.cfg_ file holds any configuration that the tests might
+require. Change the value of browser to your needs. This will then
+be picked up by WebDriverBaseTest when tests are run.
+
+Be sure not to commit your _webdriver.cfg_ changes when your create or modify tests.
+
+## How to write tests
+
+1. Create a test file per section from the specification.
+2. For each test there needs to be one or more corresponding HTML
+ files that will be used for testing. HTML files are not to be
+ reused between tests. HTML files and other support files
+ should be stored in a folder named 'res'.
+3. Test name should explain the intention of the test e.g. `def
+ test_navigate_and_return_title(self):`
