All- As I push towards the v1.0 release of Detector I've decided to focus on refining the list of tests that will form the core of Detector's "browser map." I thought the listing could prove useful to this group as well. Maybe it could be a good starting point as work on Bertrand's probe continues. I realize a "browser map" is a bit outside the scope of the original group but, again, maybe this will prove as a useful dart board.
The primary criteria for a listed test is simply my own interest in that particular feature. The only type of test that I've ruled out for now are ones that simply test browser performance (e.g. FPS). The listing is available as a Google Doc. I wasn't sure of the best way to leave feedback so I guess you can either reply to this email or put your comments in the "User Contributed Notes" section of each sheet. The link is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AntZUVoCEOyYdFRpUjZOWUZyaWxoSTlLLW1XVHVldHc The listing was built using the following resources: - Modernizr's core tests & extra tests listed in their repo [1] - Ringmark's core tests [2] - The When I Can I Use tests [3] In locations where I've listed that a test doesn't exist (primarily Modernizr) I simply mean that it's not included in the official repo. It could exist elsewhere. I also referred to the following material: - HTML5 Rocks [4] - Mobile HTML5 Compatibility Sheet [5] - The HTML5 Test [6] - WHATWG [7] - W3C Standards & Drafts [8] To explain the organization of the sheets a little bit... Each sheet is my attempt to organize tests into logical groups. There is overlap. The most important column is B as that determines what's happening with a particular test. The key is included at the bottom of each sheet. I would love the group's feedback on the list as well. I know the doc is overwhelming but I wanted to record as much information as I could while doing this process rather than have to look up things later. I haven't looked at performance issues yet, fine-tuned tests, or anything as I'm simply trying to decide if the features could prove useful to developers and act as a quality snapshot of a UA.
