" summary

Runs real Chrome 43 and Firefox 38 headlessly inside xvfb on an Ubuntu vagrant box provisioned with Ansible, executing Google Polymer tests via web component tester. Repository MDB/polymer-testing-box is a working proof of concept that installs browsers, runs wct tests, and reports all passing tests; demo also wires a VNC server so the headless browsers can be inspected remotely. This is a practical, repeatable CI solution that actually works.
