In the Test Team, we are planning to create a handbook page to provide criteria for earning the Test Team Badge. After discussions, we have finalized the criteria listed below to earn the Test Team Badge. There are a few recommendations that we should consider before incorporating them into the handbook.
If you would like a badge on your WordPress.org profile that acknowledges your contributions to the Test Team, the following criteria must be met:
Test Contributor Badge
To earn a Test Contributor Badge, you must have completed at least one of the following:
- Submitted a test report comprising at least 3 tickets for testing instructions, issue reproduction, or patch testing either on WordPress or Gutenberg. Please note that reports can be submitted, whether it’s on Trac or GitHub.
- Reported an issue on Core Trac or the Gutenberg GitHub repo which has been fixed and merged into a WordPress release.
- Submitted unit or end-to-end tests that have been merged.
- Contributed to a Test handbook PR that has been merged.
- Participated in ZIP package builds or default theme tests during a
#core <release-party>. - Participated in a Contributor Day (as a table lead, providing technical support, or assisting with onboarding).
- Suggested a thoughtful idea aimed at improving testing processes in any way, which gets implemented.
Test Team Badge
If you have served as a Test Team Rep or Test Lead in any major release of WordPress, you are eligible for the Test Team badge.
How to Request a Test Team Badge?
If you meet the criteria mentioned above, you can request a badge using this link. You will have to include details that demonstrate you have met the criteria mentioned above.
Upon request, a Test Team Rep will confirm your contribution(s) and assign you a badge. There will be a monthly review of contributions, and badges will be awarded at that time. The Test Team will post updates on newly awarded profile badges on the Test Team blog.
Call for feedback.
