Yes, but who would want .test, .example or .invalid as an internal domain? Also, they are too long (yes, that matters).

What I've seen lately is '.int' for internal usage. While this is a valid TLD, it is only for international organizations, and it is not possible for "normal" people to reserve a domain with that TLD, so unless your company is called "WHO" or similar, you shouldn't have any problems...

People thought .dev was safe until it wasn't. Bear in mind they can still do something like "enroll all of .int in HSTS preload" (like was done for .dev), and suddenly your browsers will permanently refuse to load any of your internal sites.

No one competent would ever have thought dev. was safe. It's quite simple: if you don't own the domain, or it hasn't been reserved (e.g., home.arpa.), don't use it!

.Corp exist and is reserved for private use.
