HTML5test is a website equipped with a web application for evaluating a web browser's accuracy in implementing the web standards HTML5 and Web SQL Database (developed by the World Wide Web Consortium), as well as the WebGL standard developed by the Mozilla Foundation and the Khronos Group.[1]
The test suite was developed by Dutch web programmer Niels Leenheer, and published in March 2010.[2] To test a web browser, the user must visit the website html5test.com.[3] The application returns an integer score out of a possible 555 points. The point total has changed several times through the evolution of the software.
The HTML5 test evaluates the browser's support for Web storage, the W3C Geolocation API, HTML5-specific HTML elements (including the canvas element), and other features.[4][5] It does not evaluate a browser's compliance with other web standards, such as Cascading Style Sheets, ECMAScript, Scalable Vector Graphics, and Document Object Model. Those standards are within the scope of Acid3, an automated test published by Ian Hickson in 2008.
