  Harness</a></dt>
    <dd>The Mobile Test Harness is a framework that can host Web-based test
      suites, allowing for a simple navigation from one test cases to the
      other, while recording results submitted by the user; the <a href="http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2007/mobile-test-harness/">code of the
      harness</a> is available as an open-source project</dd>
