I'm leaving these todos for Leo or Rick -- I think you can explain the state and goal of Test262 better than me at this point!
Test262: ECMAScript Test Suite (ECMA TR/104)
Test262 is the implementation conformance test suite for the latest drafts (or most recent published edition) of the following Ecma specifications:
- ECMA-262, ECMAScript Language Specification
- ECMA-402, ECMAScript Internationalization API Specification
- ECMA-404, The JSON Data Interchange Format (pdf)
Test262 itself is described in ECMA TR/104 and is included in ECMA-414 (pdf).
State of Test262
(fixme)
In this location, we should describe the present state and ideal state of Test262: (1) goal state: every "observable" behavior identified in ECMAScript ? (2) current state: can you summarize how comprehensive Test262 presently is ? Perhaps breakdown by each of the stanards (262, 402 and 404)
We welcome any contributions to Test262 that help make test coverage of existing features more comprehensive.
ECMAScript feature proposals
As defined in the TC39 Process, Stage 4 Entrance Criteria requires tests for new feature proposals to advance. Tests may be written by proposal champions, implementers, or any interested community member.
A proposal champion is someone that worked on the feature proposal and specification directly.
An implementer is someone that works on implementing the proposal into a JavaScript engine, parser, runtime or embedding.
A community member is you, and we welcome you to contribute! If you're having trouble getting started, or even just want to ask a question, feel free to open an issue.
