Tests are an essential part of the standardization process and will need to be created or adjusted as changes to the standard are made. Tests for the Compatibility Standard can be found in thecompat/ directory ofweb-platform-tests/wpt.

A dashboard showing the tests running against browser engines can be seen atwpt.fyi/results/compat.

For quick local iteration, runmake; this will use a web service to build the standard, so that you don't have to install anything. See more in theContributor Guidelines.
