The Mobile Web Test Suites Working Group is now closed. The group operated from early 2007 until February 2010.
The mission of the MWI Test Suites Working Group was to help create a strong foundation for the mobile Web through the development of a set of test suites targeted at browsers.
These test suites can help assess which technologies and which features of a given technologies are supported in existing browsers on mobile devices.
