Starting today, a subset of Themes Trac tickets may include an automated reply showing the results of end-to-end theme tests. Trac tickets already include Theme Check results; the new automated e2e testing covers extra tests intended to find JavaScript errors, invalid output, potential a11y problems, and other items from the Guidelines.
The Theme Test results are intended to help both theme reviewers and theme authors discover theme bugs and potential problems easier and earlier. It is a work in progress that we hope will assist and augment the manual review process for themes. The tests are advisory only, there is no requirement or expectation that themes must pass the tests in order to be approved. Here’s an example:
We’d like to hear your feedback on the tests, and suggestions for additions and improvements. You can discuss those in comments here or post issues to the Theme Review Action repository in GitHub.
