The third public release of the W3C SVG 1.0 Test Suite was made on 26 October 2001 (the second public release was made on 2 February 2001 and the first on 12 June 2000).
You can also see the SVG Conformance Suite Implementation Status which shows, for each test in the test suite, which of those implementations tested passed it at the time of testing.
This release included 'Basic Effectivity' tests - aiming for covering all of the spec, but not in fullest detail. This release comprises 127 Basic Effectivity tests.
Various test harnesses are available:
- a frame-based harness, with the reference PNG and the test SVG presented side by side, together with instructions (for browser implementations and plug-ins)
- an SVG-based harness which uses the SVG image element to include the actual test, and provides navigation links. To view the reference PNG and the instructions, you will need to also view (in an HTML browser) the reference PNG and instructions.
- another SVG harness which displays the reference PNG and the SVG test image side by side, with navigation links.
- a bare-bones harness with the reference PNG and instructions displayed in an HTML page; the SVG files are loaded one by one; suitable for standalone viewers or editors that do not implement the SVG image element fully.
There is also a readme for this release and a manual.
This historical, 1.0 testsuite can be downloaded as one zipfile for local (offline) testing. The manual is downloaded separately. Tests and implementation reports on the most recent version of SVG are also available.
