# Web Platform Tests
-The Web Platform Tests project provides a large number of conformance tests for
-different aspects of the Web Platform. Currently the tests are hosted on GitHub.
-There are two main repositories, one for the CSS Working Group (aka csswg-test),
-and one for pretty much everything else (aka web-platform-tests).
-
-There is a plan to merge csswg-test into web-platform-tests, so later, there
-will be only one repository.
+Interoperability between browsers is

+chromium's mission of improving the web. We believe that leveraging and

+contributing to a shared test suite is one of the most important tools in
+achieving interoperability between browsers. The [web-platform-tests
+repository](https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests) is the primary shared
+test suite where all browser engines are collaborating. There's also a
+[csswg-test repository](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-test) for CSS tests, but
+that will [soon be merged into
+web-platform-tests](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-test/issues/1102).
