We did it again!



Back in 2008, the Mobile Web Test Suites Working Group released its first Web Compatibility Test for Mobile Browsers that packed 12 (and later, 16) important Web technologies into a single page that would tell you at a glance how well your browser supported them.

Fast forward to 2010, the level of support on this first Web compatibility test has tremendously improved, although the browsers that show a fully green grid are still few.

But in the meantime, the technologies have also evolved, and while many of them are still not final by any means, it seemed that getting an overview of which of these technologies are available today on what browsers would make a good follow-up to our first test.

That's the goal of our second Web compatibility test for mobile browsers that tests a number of Web technologies through their JavaScript interfaces, and collects detailed results on which browsers pass which tests.

This is the first release of the test, so it likely isn't quite perfect, and as always, the choice of the tested technologies is somewhat arbitrary; we are very much looking for feedback, either in the comments here, on our Working Group blog, or to our public mailing list.
