How to write tests for a TC39 proposal

littledan opened this issue · 4 comments

Shared conformance tests in test262 are a core part of the TC39 process which anyone from the open-source community can participate in. Thanks to @rwaldron, @jugglinmike, @leobalter and @spectranaut, Test262 has a very good CONTRIBUTING.md which explains, at a technical level, how to write tests, but there's a process test authors go to to try to get coverage for a whole proposal, put it behind a new feature flag, coordinate with proposal champions, etc which is not directly covered as far as I can tell.

@kosamari volunteered to work with the folks at Bocoup to document the process better. Thanks, Mariko!

I also spoke with @leobalter about this, he is looking into it as well!

How is this document going?

I haven't found a proper time yet. Still overwhelmed, but this is next on my work plans. I also have @spectranaut on board for this.

ping, is anyone interested in developing this document?
