@nitin Not sure what you mean. Most info about the test suite is available on the CSSWG Wiki, if that helps.

Hello all,

I quickly have created a basic webpage for people wishing to submit testcases to the CSS 2.1 test suite:

”Can anyone give me an example of a good, useful test suite that is also dead simple for a web user to figure out how to run?”

http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS2.1/current/ :)

All tests have an intuitive pass/fail criterion which can be understood by anyone, regardless of whether or not they are familiar with the specification.

I think the ACID tests and the CSS selector test suite are popular because they can be easily run by anyone.

Can anyone give me an example of a good, useful test suite that is also dead simple for a web user to figure out how to run?

@James Except for css3-namespace, new CR modules all need test suites. :) And yes, contributions are welcome for the same reasons. I think the idea for the css3 test suites is to use a combination of reftests and human-verified tests–reftests where possible, human-verified where not. (Reftests are two pages that are supposed to look exactly the same. The advantage is that such tests can be automated via screenshot comparisons.) Mozilla has some reftests that could be converted for css3-background, but we probably need more. ASIDE: It’s already crawlable on the public-css-testsuite archives.

”Well this public mailing list should be easier to discover, maybe sounds weird but it should be promoted in some way”

Agreed, as an interim solution until a more author-centric submission system has been established.

“Tests like ACIDs and the selector test on css3.info are popular. Something in that direction have to be done.”

Popularity musn’t be a factor to determine how suitable a testsuite is. I’d recommend you read one of Elika’s articles to understand why Acid tests are far from adequate, and why the selectors test here at CSS3.info is unsuitable too.

@Elika. Since several CSS3 modules have reached CR recently, could you give us a quick update as to where the Working Group is at with establishing a testsuite for each CR module? Does the Working Group require help in the same way they do currently with CSS21?

ASIDE: it might be an idea to ascii-obfuscate Gérard’s email address in your post :)
