     1 Integration Tests for ECMAScript Internationalization API
     2 =========================================================
     4 The tests in this directory test the integration of the ICU library
     5 (Internationalization Components for Unicode) into the implementation of the
     6 ECMAScript Internationalization API in SpiderMonkey.
     8 These integration tests are complementary to:
    10 - The Test402 test suite maintained by Ecma TC39, which tests conformance of
    11   an implementation to standard ECMA-402, ECMAScript Internationalization API
    12   Specification. Test402 is currently maintained as part of Test262, the overall
    13   conformance test suite for ECMAScript; for more information, see
    14   http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=test262:test262
    16 - The test suite of the ICU library, which tests the implementation of ICU
    17   itself and correct interpretation of the locale data it obtains from CLDR
    18   (Common Locale Data Repository). For information on ICU, see
    19   http://site.icu-project.org
    21 The integration tests check for a variety of locales and options whether the
    22 results are localized in a way that indicates correct integration with ICU.
    23 Such tests are somewhat fragile because the underlying locale data reflects
    24 real world usage and is therefore subject to change. When the ICU library used
    25 by Mozilla is upgraded, it is likely that some of the integration tests will
    26 fail because of locale data changes; however, others might fail because of
    27 actual software bugs. Failures therefore have to be examined carefully.
