+Tests for the [Reporting API](https://w3c.github.io/reporting/).
+
+The tests in this directory validate the generic functionaity of the Reporting
+API. Since reports are not actually generated by that specification, these tests
+occasionally make use of other integrations, like CSP or Permissions Policy.
+
+## Testing integration with the Reporting API
+
+More comprehensive tests for other specifications' generated reports should be
+in those specs' respective directories.
+
+There are two general methods of testing reporting integration:
+
+* The simpler is with the ReportingObserver interface, generating reports
+ within a document and reading them from script running in that document.
+* For reports which cannot be observed from a document, there is a reporting
+ collector provided which can receive reports sent over HTTP and then serve
+ them in response to queries from the test script. See resources/README.md for
+ details.
