Personally, I'd rather see something much simpler. The JSUnit framework is somewhat big and chunky - I'll expand on that in your other thread for requirements though :) > Has the content of the tests been reviewed recently? Are they still an > acceptable set of tests? We run them. I've even gone through the process of building them - which is very cumbersome because the build process automatically downloads old spec documents to parse them and extract IDL blocks, and in doing so it comes across some specs that actually violate some late errata in the XML spec, parsing fails, and one must resort to do string replace on the XML sources in the build process before using a modern XML parser (!). > Would this testing framework be suitable for HTML5/ DOM L2 specs that > are missing? IMO: no, if we could have a more lighweight framework it would be great. -- Hallvord R. M. Steen, Core Tester, Opera Software http://www.opera.com http://my.opera.com/hallvors/
