(Incomplete) list of WebEngine features, and how to test for them.
Chromium DevTools

Description: Ability to inspect and debug layout and performance issues of any web content.
Documentation: Qt WebEngine Developer Tools
How to test: Launch a QtWebEngine app with command line option --remote-debugging-port=[your-port] and use a Chrome instance to connect to http://localhost:[your-port]. See documentation for details.

Description: Javascript Geolocation API with QtLocation as a backend
Documentation: n/a
How to test: QtLocation should be built before QtWebEngine. Using demobrowser, go to http://html5demos.com/geo, and allow the page to find your position. Note that on Windows you need an external GPS receiver connected, see QtPositioning documentation.
PPAPI / Adobe Flash
Version: Qt 5.6.0 onwards
Description: Support for PPAPI plugins, and Flash in particular
Documentation: Pepper Flash Player Plugin Support
