Reproduction Testing 🔁
Who? Any contributor.
Why? It is helpful to show an issue exists for other users in order to move a ticket forward for patching.
The following new tickets are awaiting review, and need testers to attempt to reproduce the reported issue (aka “repro”), and then provide a reproduction test report with the results:
- #56005: Can’t adjust Pullquote block font size in TT1 theme.
- #55986: Can’t add more than 2 tags to post using screen reader.
- #55993: Incorrect canonical redirect for paginated posts.
Patch Testing 🩹
Who? All contributors (not just developers) who can set up a local testing environment.
Why? It is necessary to apply proposed patches and test per the testing instructions in order to validate that a patch fixes the issue.
The following tickets have been reviewed and a patch provided, and need testers to apply the patch and manually test, then provide feedback through a patch test report:
- #24661: Update
remove_accentsto support non-NFC encoded characters. - #55005: Improve PHP performance for
block.jsonfiles. Needs thorough testing across different environments. - #51857: Test Rollback Update Failure feature. Available as a plugin or patch. Also needs unit tests. This is marked as
early.
PHPUnit Tests 🛟
Who? Any QA or PHP developer contributors who can (or are interested in learning how to) build automated PHPUnit tests.
Why? Automated tests improve the software development feedback loop for quality and backward compatibility.
The following tickets need PHPUnit tests built to accompany their respective patches:
- #55448:
WP_Widget_Blockoutputs empty container if widget has no output. - #54736: Prevent
get_sample_permalink()from unsetting$post->filter. - #51986: Fix
