   5         * TODO: Updated to note areas that are now well-covered.

   7         - Change the tests and the driver to avoid leaving large object
   8         graphs hanging around, since that throws off the subsequent tests.

  22         - Rebalance test complexity.
  23
  24         Scaled all the tests so they take 400-600ms on a reasonably normal user setup:
  25
  26         Internet Explorer 7, Window XP, Dell Latitude D810 with a 2.13GHz Pentium M
  27
  28         However, for some tests, IE7 was a huge outlier compared to other
  29         major browsers. For those tests, I used Firefox 2.0.0.8 on the
  30         same OS and hardware as a normalization basis.

  80         * tests/string-tagcloud.js: Added. Parses a JSON string and
  81         generates tagcloud HTML markup based on the data.
  82         * tests/string-unpack-code.js: Added. Unpack compressed versions of

 106         - New JavaScript benchmark
 107         http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15515
 108
 109         A start on a new JavaScript benchmark, with standalone and
 110         browser-hosted drivers.
 111
 112         The test content is still incomplete and the drivers could use
 113         some more features but there is enough here to make a good start.
 114
 115         The drivers compute a 95% confidence interval on the mean for the
 116         whole test, each category, and each individual test to make it
 117         easier to tell whether differences are statistically
 118         significant. The confidence interval can be narrowed by running
 119         the test more times.
 120
 121         * TODO: Added. Remaining things that need to be done.
 122         * sunspider: Added. Perl script that acts as the standalone test driver.

 124         of standalone test driver.
 125         * resources/sunspider-analyze-results.js: Added. JavaScript statistical
 126         analysis code.

 132         tests.

 134         tests.
 135         * tests/LIST: Added. List of tests to use.
 136         * tests/bitops-3bit-bits-in-byte.js: Added. Some initial test content.
