Test402 is currently maintained as part of Test262, the overall + conformance test suite for ECMAScript; for more information, see + http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=test262:test262 + +- The test suite of the ICU library, which tests the implementation of ICU + itself and correct interpretation of the locale data it obtains from CLDR + (Common Locale Data Repository). For information on ICU, see + http://site.icu-project.org + +The integration tests check for a variety of locales and options whether the +results are localized in a way that indicates correct integration with ICU. +Such tests are somewhat fragile because the underlying locale data reflects +real world usage and is therefore subject to change. When the ICU library used +by Mozilla is upgraded, it is likely that some of the integration tests will +fail because of locale data changes; however, others might fail because of +actual software bugs. Failures therefore have to be examined carefully. |
