Hello!

This is a useful document that you might find interesting:
http://www.calconnect.org/publications/MobileCalendarTestSuitev1.1.pdf

It describes several manual tests which cover calendar synchronization
use cases. From Appendix A - Supporting Information:

Time Zones and Daylight Savings

        In order to correctly display an event and interoperate with
        major calendar applications, it is necessary for mobile calendar
        solutions to provide support for time zones. Unfortunately, most
        mobile calendar solutions do not provide full support for time
        zones currently and are therefore unable to correctly display
        events in all situations.
        
        The following different classes of device time zone support have
        been identified:
        Full Time zone support
              * has time zone configuration option
              * stores all events as local time, UTC or local time with
                time zone rule (as appropriate)
              * transfers recurring events in local time with a time
                zone definition
        [...]
        
        The timezone and daylight savings test cases described in this
        test suite assume that full time zone support has been correctly
        implemented. Other implementations are simply considered broken.
        
SyncEvolution + Evolution fully support time zones, so we should be able
to pass these tests.
