Feature Testing at WordCamp San Francisco

Welcome!

The WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. development team builds WordPress! Follow this site for general updates, status reports, and the occasional code debate. There’s lots of ways to contribute:

Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.

Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.

Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

Getting feedback from real users is incredibly valuable, and WCSF occurs at a great time in the 4.1 dev cycle to do that. We will have a space next to the happiness bar to solicit feedback on upcoming features. In order to accomplish this, if you will be at WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. SF this weekend and want to get feedback on a feature that you are working on, please comment below.

I will setup some test sites with trunktrunk A directory in Subversion containing the latest development code in preparation for the next major release cycle. If you are running "trunk", then you are on the latest revision. and the trunk version of the feature plugins (along with some test data) to help expedite this. The plugins I am planning on having are:

I’m not there, but it would be cool if you have enough interest to test some of the non-4.1 plugins like the Front End Editor and Menu Customizer as well.

Feature plugins should be updated every week in the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party repo (every day would be even better). With the beta tester plugin, auto updating to each nightly is effortless.

  I have the betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. tester pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

Instead of just testing new stuff, have them show how they usually work. Capture real flows. Be an Alan Lomax of flow. Seeing how people work with and around our interfaces is very interesting. For example, Android users use the Android sharing mechanism to push images to the media library through the Android app. Later, they create galleries from wp-adminadmin (and super admin) on the desktop. Why? Because creating galleries is impossible in the apps and painful on the mobile web due to things like lack of multi-select and aggravating tab switching in the media modal. Another example, some use upload.php to edit image metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. because they can’t use the small input fields in the sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. of the media modal. Those are revealing flows.
