Random web content generator

[jdm]

This is a tracking issue for the student project to create a fuzzer for random web content. Besides stress-testing Servo's implementation, the goal is to make it easy to find testcases that are rendered differently by Firefox and Servo.

This is intended for a group of students at NCSU to work on. Please talk to me before starting to work on this if that does not describe you.

Does that mean all web content should be the same pixel by pixel in Firefox and Servo? I would find this really impressive even for simple examples.

Hopefully using the Ahem font could reduce variability.

With small modifications to the generator grammar, it's a really strong fuzzer that still finds new bugs in Servo. The biggest issue is generating small useful crashtests out of the massive blobs of html it creates.

Hi Josh,
We (Abhay Soni, asoni3@ncsu.edu; Pranshu Sinha, psinha@ncsu.edu; Aayushi Agrawal, agrawa@ncsu.edu) are students at NCSU currently assigned to this project. We wanted to notify you before we start working on the project. Let us know about any resources you think can help us work on the project.
Thanks!

Great! Do you have any questions about the purpose of the project or how to implement it?
