Reproduction Testing 🔁
Who? Any contributor.

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:
- #63618 `is_object_in_term` object cache uses “set” instead of “add”
- #63624 Twenty Fourteen :- Quote block having issue with the text color.
- #63633 Post Types with numeric characters in the slug are not searchable within the nav menu
- #63623 Twenty Nineteen: Pullquote block does not show border-color presets on front end
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:
PHPUnit Tests 🛟

Any QA or PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php developer contributors who can (or are interested in learning how to) build automated PHPUnit tests.
Why? Automated tests improve the software development feedback loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts.

Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop for quality and backward compatibility.
The following tickets need PHPUnit tests built to accompany their respective patches:
- #59263 Twenty Nineteen: File block does not respect center alignment setting
