# web-platform-tests documentation
The web-platform-tests project is a cross-browser test suite for [the
Web-platform stack](https://platform.html5.org). Writing tests in a way that
allows them to be run in all browsers gives browser projects confidence that
they are shipping software which is compatible with other implementations, and
that later implementations will be compatible with their implementations. This
in turn gives Web authors/developers confidence that they can actually rely on
the Web platform to deliver on the promise of working across browsers and
devices without needing extra layers of abstraction to paper over the gaps left
by specification editors and implementors.
The most important sources of information and activity are:
- [github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt):
the canonical location of the project's source code revision history and the
discussion forum for changes to the code
- [web-platform-tests.org](https://web-platform-tests.org): the documentation
website; details how to set up the project, how to write tests, how to give
and receive peer review, how to serve as an administrator, and more
- [wpt.live](https://wpt.live): a public deployment of the test suite,
allowing anyone to run the tests by visiting from an
Internet-enabled browser of their choice
- [wpt.fyi](https://wpt.fyi): an archive of test results collected from an
array of web browsers on a regular basis
- [Real-time chat room](https://app.element.io/#/room/#wpt:matrix.org): the
`wpt:matrix.org` matrix channel; includes participants located
around the world, but busiest during the European working day.
- [Mailing list](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-test-infra/): a
public and low-traffic discussion list
**If you'd like clarification about anything**, don't hesitate to ask in the
chat room or on the mailing list.

## GitHub
[GitHub](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/) is used both for [issue tracking](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues) and [test submissions](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pulls); we
provide [a limited introduction][github-intro] to both git and
GitHub.
Pull Requests are automatically labeled based on the directory the
files they change are in; there are also comments added automatically
to notify a number of people: this list of people comes from META.yml
files in those same directories and their parents (i.e., they work
recursively: `a/META.yml` will get notified for `a/foo.html` and
`a/b/bar.html`).
If you want to be notified about changes to tests in a directory, feel
free to add yourself to the META.yml file!
