Test Assumptions
The tests make a number of assumptions of the user agent, and new tests can freely rely on these assumptions being true:
* The device is a full-color device.
* The device has viewport dimensions of at least 800px by 600px.
* The UA imposes no minimum font size.
* The medium font-size computes to 16px.
* The canvas background is white.
* The initial value of color is black.
* The user stylesheet is empty (except where indicated by the tests).
* The device is interactive and uses scroll bars.
* The HTML div element is assigned display: block;, the
unicode-bidi property may be declared, and no other property
declarations.
<!-- unicode-bidi: isolate should be required; we currently don't
assume this because Chrome and Safari are yet to ship this: see
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=296863 and
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65617 -->
* The HTML span element is assigned display: inline; and no other
property declaration.
* The HTML p element is assigned display: block;
* The HTML li element is assigned display: list-item;
* The HTML table elements table, tbody, tr, and td are
assigned the display values table, table-row-group,
table-row, and table-cell, respectively.
* The UA implements reasonable line-breaking behavior; e.g., it is
assumed that spaces between alphanumeric characters provide line
breaking opportunities and that UAs will not break at every
opportunity, but only near the end of a line unless a line break is
forced.
Tests for printing behavior make some further assumptions:
* The UA is set to print background colors and, if it supports graphics, background images. * The UA implements reasonable page-breaking behavior; e.g., it is assumed that UAs will not break at every opportunity, but only near the end of a page unless a page break is forced.
