Notes on continuous-integration testing WebGL applications and libraries.

The key, first, is to separate applications and libraries: libraries can possibly be tested headlessly, whereas applications usually cannot.

• Software
  • Headless: These are testing solutions that run in node.js or without an open browser.
    • WORKING
      • headless-gl allows usage of a WebGL-style context via node.js
    • NO WEBGL
      • phantomjs: no WebGL support, no support planned.
  • Headfull
    • WORKING
      • hughsk/smokestack
      • zuul
      • karma
      • nightwatch
• Services
  • Promises WebGL
    • Browserstack on Win 8.1 (ref)
  • NO WEBGL
    • ghost inspector: no plans to enable webgl
    • travis-ci
    • circleci
    • sauce labs
  • SKETCHY/UNCONFIRMED
    • browserstack promises webgl on osx.
