The Test Team helps manage testing and triage across the WordPress ecosystem. They focus on user testing of the editing experience and WordPress dashboard, replicating and documenting bug reports, and supporting a culture of review and triage across the project.
Please drop by any time in SlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. with questions or to help out.
Once a patch is made available for a ticket, it is critical to validate that the code change (a) addresses the issue (for bug report) or (b) delivers the expected behavior or result (for feature or enhancement).
During patch testing, please be aware of “regression” issues, where the patch may fix one thing, but break another unintentionally.
