Sputnik was a JavaScript conformance test suite. The purpose of the test suite was to determine how well a JavaScript implementation adheres to the ECMA-262 specification, 5th edition, looking only at those features that were also present in the 3rd edition.[1] It contained over 5000 tests that touched all aspects of the JavaScript language.[1][2]
