@sirlouen has started building a dedicated Testing plugin to replace the current one with plan to introduce new features along with a plan to redesign the Handbook sections for reports, which will be used for the new testing plugin for clarity. For more details please revisit meeting history here.

Badge Requirements

@sirlouen suggested increasing the minimum number of test reports from 1 to 5 tickets and proposed removing the requirements related to unit/e2e tests and contributing to WordPress test suites, as those are not directly related to the part of Test Team 

8. Questions

@fakhriaz asked for recommendations on books, YouTube channels, and the best path to become an expert in testing and coding. @sirlouen suggested reading “PHP: The Right Way” for PHP, and checking the WordPress.org documentation and resources to learn about WordPress testing.

@krupajnanda mentioned everyone that the WordPress 6.9 release is coming soon, with Beta 1 expected in a month. They encouraged everyone to explore the new features, fixes, and enhancements, and to keep an eye on the roadmap and the “Week in Test” post for early testing opportunities.
