| # Web Serial Testing |
| |
| Automated testing for the [Web Serial API] relies on a test-only interface which |
| must be provided by browsers under test. This is similar to [WebUSB] however |
| there is no separate specification of the API other than the tests themselves |
| and the Chromium implementation. |
| |
| Tests in this suite include `resources/automation.js` to detect and load the |
| test API as needed. |
| |
| The Chromium implementation is provided by |
| `../resources/chromium/fake-serial.js` using [MojoJS]. |
| |
| Tests with the "-manual" suffix do not use the test-only interface and expect a |
| real hardware device to be connected. The specific characteristics of the device |
| are described in each test. |
