CSS tests require a specific naming convention. This is also a good, but not mandatory, style to use for other tests. ## File Name The file name format is ```test-topic-###.ext``` where `test-topic` somewhat describes the test, `###` is a zero-filled number used to keep the file names unique, and `ext` is typically either `html` or `xht`. Test filenames must also be globally unique. There cannot be multiple tests with the same filename, even if they are in different parent directories. For example, having both `/css-values-3/foo-001.html` and `/css-variables-1/foo-001.html` would not be allowed. This restriction is in place because some tools that use the CSS tests dump all of the test files into a single directory, which would cause all but one of the tests with the same filename to be clobbered and accidentally skipped. ### test-topic `test-topic` is a short identifier that describes the test. The `test-topic` should avoid conjunctions, articles, and prepositions. It is a file name, not an English phrase: it should be as concise as possible. Examples: ``` margin-collapsing-###.ext border-solid-###.ext float-clear-###.ext ``` ### `###` `###` is a zero-filled number used to keep the file names unique when files have the same test-topic name. Note: The number format is limited to 999 cases. If you go over this number it is recommended that you reevaluate your test-topic name. For example, in the case of margin-collapsing there are multiple cases so each case could have the same test-topic but different numbers: ``` margin-collapsing-001.xht margin-collapsing-002.xht margin-collapsing-003.xht ``` There may also be a letter affixed after the number, which can be used to indicate variants of a test. For example, ```float-wrap-001l.xht``` and ```float-wrap-001r.xht``` might be left and right variants of a float test. If tests using both the unsuffixed number and the suffixed number exist, the suffixed tests must be subsets of the unsuffixed test. For example, if ```bidi-004``` and ```bidi-004a``` both exist, ```bidi-004a``` must be a subset of ```bidi-004```. If the unsuffixed test is strictly the union of the suffixed tests, i.e. covers all aspects of the suffixed tests (such that a user agent passing the unsuffixed test will, by design, pass all the suffixed tests), then the unsuffixed test should be marked with the combo flag. If ```bidi-004a``` and ```bidi-004b``` cover all aspects of ```bidi- 004``` (except their interaction), then bidi-004 should be given the combo flag. ### ext `ext` is the file extension or format of the file. For XHTML test files, it should be `xht`. For HTML (non-XML) test files, it should be `html`.
