But <a href="http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/layout/reftests/bidi/bidi-006.html" rel="nofollow">the newer one</a> is much better, especially after David Baron improved it. :) As a matter of fact the bidi diacritics test you refer to is rather bad: the latest regression got straight past it.

Thanks for giving me an in-depth look at what's going on in devland. The shiny graphs also don't hurt. ;-) This is great Rob. Thanks for giving me an in-depth look at what’s going on in devland.

Mostly we tried not to write them. We looked for existing tests in bugzilla and in external projects: like the W3C dom suite, Ajax libs, etc. We're working on adding the http://openlayers.org/ tests now. "I was also surprised to see that each build cycle seems to be so fast, for example one Firefox cycle I just looked at was just 12 minutes." Not every box runs every test. Some are dedicated just to building, and then other machines download their output for testing. “Could you maybe give a top 10 list of test sets by number of tests in a set,”

No, because I don’t have one… :)
