Test the Web Forward content kit

Test the Web Forward is W3C's one stop shop for Open Web Platform testing. In this content kit we will help you teach developers what they need to know to get involved.

Please file any issues you find against this content kit's github repo.

What should the audience have?

• A Linux, Windows or Mac OSX computer would be benefical to follow along with the examples, if the audience is going to be coding along with the presenter (this is optional).
