## 3. Test Team Discussions

### Review the current handbook PRs before publishing

 1. [Add Team Organization page with active and emeritus member sections](https://github.com/WordPress/test-handbook/pull/148)
 2.  * The team discussed the progress of the handbook PR proposing a new Team Organization
       page, including sections for Active Members and Emeritus Members.
     * [@ozgursar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ozgursar/) mentioned that maintaining
       an Active Members list could be difficult and may quickly become outdated. [@juanmaguitar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanmaguitar/)
       agreed with this concern and noted that similar lists in other teams are often
       hard to maintain.
     * [@nikunj8866](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikunj8866/) suggested defining
       Active Members based on contributions over the last 2–3 months, including meeting
       participation, testing, and feedback. He also proposed reviewing the list periodically
       to keep it accurate.
     * Further discussion led to a preference for focusing on an Emeritus Members list
       instead. [@ozgursar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ozgursar/) suggested that
       having only an Emeritus list would be easier to maintain.
     * [@nikunj8866](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikunj8866/) added that past Team
       Reps could be included in the Emeritus list, recognizing their contributions.
     * The team agreed to continue the discussion in the PR comments to finalize the
       approach.
 3. [Archive old test report pages (testing-instructions, combined-report)](https://github.com/WordPress/test-handbook/pull/149)
 4.  * The team reviewed the PR aimed at archiving outdated test report pages such 
       as testing instructions and combined reports.
     * [@ozgursar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ozgursar/) noted that the Test Reports
       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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
       or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. should be referenced, as it 
       was not clearly visible in the updated content. [@juanmaguitar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanmaguitar/)
       clarified that the PR is focused on deprecating old content and keeping only
       essential references in the handbook, suggesting that additional improvements
       should be handled in separate issues.
     * [@nikunj8866](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikunj8866/) agreed with this approach
       and suggested creating a new issue to address the plugin reference. The team
       agreed that the PR is in good shape and ready for final review and merge after
       the meeting.
 5. [Add cross-links between setup guides and patch testing report page](https://github.com/WordPress/test-handbook/pull/151)
 6.  * The team discussed a PR focused on improving cross-linking between setup guides
       and patch testing report pages.
     * [@juanmaguitar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanmaguitar/) noted that there
       are currently no clear instructions or templates for test reports in GutenbergGutenberg
       The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor 
       improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing 
       rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes,
       custom HTML etc. [https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/),
       only references to patch testing. [@nikunj8866](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikunj8866/)
       pointed out that there is already an open issue to address this gap and suggested
       continuing the discussion there.
     * The team agreed that additional issues should be created to define proper guidance
       for test reports and improve documentation clarity.

### Proposed new handbook pages

 1. [Create Test (or Test Team) in WordPress GitHub Teams](https://github.com/WordPress/test-handbook/issues/127)
 2.  * The team discussed a proposal to create a dedicated Test Team group within the
       WordPress GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation
       of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other 
       developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require
       a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where
       code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed 
       before being merged by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)
       organization.
     * [@juanmaguitar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanmaguitar/) explained that
       GitHub teams can help organize contributors, making it easier to tag specific
       groups for testing or triage. [@ozgursar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ozgursar/)
       compared it to a role-based grouping system.
     * [@nikunj8866](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikunj8866/) raised a question 
       about whether other Make WordPress teams are using similar setups. During the
       discussion, it was noted that contributors need to be part of the WordPress 
       GitHub organization to be added to such teams.
     * [@juanmaguitar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanmaguitar/) created an initial
       team but was unable to add members due to permission limitations. The team agreed
       to follow up in the [#meta](https://make.wordpress.org/test/tag/meta/) channel
       to clarify how contributors can be added to the organization.

## 4. Open Floor

 * [@mosescursor](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mosescursor/) questioned whether
   frequent meetings might be contributing to lower attendance. [@juanmaguitar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanmaguitar/)
   noted that weekly meetings are common across other Make WordPress teams.
 * [@nikunj8866](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikunj8866/) suggested returning
   to a more focused schedule by alternating meetings:
    - One week for patch testing scrubs
    - One week for Test Team chats
 * [@juanmaguitar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanmaguitar/) agreed with this
   approach, and the team supported the idea. [@nikunj8866](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikunj8866/)
   created a GitHub issue [#154](https://github.com/WordPress/test-handbook/issues/154)
   to continue the discussion and finalize the plan.
 * [@nikunj8866](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nikunj8866/) shared a call for volunteers
   for Table Lead and Co-Lead roles for Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor

## Test Handbook 📘

### Merging of Test Handbook in GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. 󠀁[https://github.com/](https://github.com/)󠁿

For the last few weeks, a good number of test contributors embarked on the journey
of reviewing our new Test Handbook based on GitHub. The Process has been concluded
successfully with the merging.

 * We want to inform that the **Test Handbook** is officially `synced`. There might
   be a couple of bugs and things that are not looking good pending to be fixed.
 * Feel free to give it a check [here](https://make.wordpress.org/test/handbook/),
   and if you find any bugs, go to the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/WordPress/test-handbook)
   and report them.
    - You can send a PR with the fix, or simply send the **issue**, and we will 
      check it

      and issues by automatically adding co-authors.[11:55]
    - The team discussed implementing a similar workflow to what GutenbergGutenberg
      The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor
      improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing
      rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes,
      custom HTML etc. [https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)

      and improve the existing WordPress Playground testing documentation.[33:00]
    - The team wants to update the documentation with new techniques and parameters.[
      33:53]
 * Testing Issues Tracking
    - [@JuanMa](https://wordpress.slack.com/team/UANQQ4DHB) suggested creating a
      bot to share the number of pending testing issues in the Slack channel weekly.[
      38:02]
    - The team agreed this would improve visibility of testing needs.[40:08]

## ☑️ Action items

or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people
get together to work on various areas of [https://make.wordpress.org/](https://make.wordpress.org/)
There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus.

   tickets including [#64853](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64853), [#64962](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64962),
   [#65031](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65031), [#65053](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65053),
   and [#64944](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64944)
 * Multiple contributors submitted **Test Handbook pull requests** to improve documentation(
   [#120](https://github.com/WordPress/test-handbook/pull/120), [#121](https://github.com/WordPress/test-handbook/pull/121),

   guide
 * A few contributors also explored **AI features in WordPress** and the GutenbergGutenberg
   The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves
   the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content
   much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom
   HTML etc. [https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)
   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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.
