test is a name reserved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in RFC 2606 (June 1999) that is not intended to be installed as a top-level domain (TLD) in the global Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet for production use.[1]

Other reserved top-level domain names are invalid, localhost, and example.

The reasons for reservation of these top-level domain names is to reduce the likelihood of conflict and confusion.[1] This allows the use of these names for either documentation purposes or in local testing scenarios.

[edit] Testing of IDN domains

The top-level domain label test has been officially used for testing a series of internationalized domain name (IDN) TLDs created by ICANN in its IDN root zone evaluation program[2] initiated in October 2007. The domains used in this program are example.test, translated and transliterated into: Arabic, Persian, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Russian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Yiddish, Japanese and Tamil. The evaluation is supported by a suite of fully localized wikis and can be accessed through a single IDN wiki gateway.[3]
