Test Suites

Test Suites are fundamental to design conformant tools, editors, software, etc. Some third parties have designed some test suites with our cooperation and/or agreement. We also have produced Test Suites at W3C. If you need to validate your documents, go to the validator page.

Test Suites Mailing Lists

HTML Test Suite

www-html-testsuite@w3.org: There was a lack of good test suites for HTML and XHTML. So, W3C has initiated the design of a test suite for HTML that could be used to test User Agents and programing library.
The subject of the mailing-list is declined as: How to build it? Build it! Use it for implementations...

Maintainer: Karl Dubost <karl@w3.org>
Subscription policy: Ask to karl@w3.org - This list is really open to do a valuable and effective work about HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 test suite.
