With Mir now having basic Wayland support, next on their agenda is to improve the acceptance/conformance tests around Wayland in general that will help in vetting Mir's Wayland support code.

Chris Halse Rogers of Canonical is next planning to tackle improving/adding test cases for Mir's Wayland support.

This work includes porting the Weston test suite to Mir's test suite. There's also a hope to improve the broader ecosystem of Wayland protocol testing across the different compositors and other Wayland implementations. Unfortunately, continuous integration and unit testing isn't too big among the Wayland projects right now for ensuring correct functionality/behavior and no regressions.

More on these Mir Wayland testing plans was shared today at community.ubuntu.com.
