Test262 Integration with WebKit

First, the WebKit project maintainers wanted a way to ease the maintenance burden of keeping the WebKit copy of Test262 synced with the latest upstream source material. Second, they hoped to decouple the execution of Test262 conformance tests from their existing Stress test machinery. Finally, the JavaScriptCore team sought to have their own test material automatically one-way-synced to Test262.

We worked with several stakeholders in the WebKit ecosystem to author import routines which refined and codified their existing practices into an system that automated the maintenance of exception and skip lists. Next we created a new, dedicated Test262 test runner which is capable of running in all of WebKit's development, build and CI environments. Lastly, we designed and deployed a remote one-way-sync bot that check for new or updated test material in JavaScriptCore, which it will then use as the contents of a new Pull Request on Test262. This test material will be curated and integrated into Test262 by the maintainers of that project.
