Add several blocks with various alignments (left, right, center) and check to make sure the toolbar appears properly for each one. ([11357](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11357)) 2. Press `meta+A` to select a blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor.

The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) Related These are accessibility-related testing steps, though anyone can help test these! 1. Publish a post using the keyboard only ([4187](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/4187)). 2. Navigate through the images in a gallery using the keyboard. Try different browsers.( [11205](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11205)) 3. Add a link to another existing post from your site using the keyboard only.

Using a screen reader, select multiple blocks, and check that the number of blocks selected is read out. ([11422](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11422)) #### Bonus Round You should test these if you’re willing to dig in a little deeper, if you know of( or can find) custom plugins that use some of the updated capabilities, or if you would like to help test Gutenberg with popular plugins. 1. Go to More > Options and check the option for Custom Fields. Check that custom fields work as expected. ([11084](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11084)) 2. Add a left aligned and a right-aligned image to a post. Switch the site to use an RTL language and check that the alignments are the same. ([11293](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11293)) 3. Add a bunch of 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. boxes and check to make sure the editor still has ample room. ([11482](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11482)) 4. Find a plugin that removes the “kitchen sinkKitchen Sink When using the WYSIWYG( What You See Is What You Get) editor in WordPress, you can expand the capabilities to allow more options. This expanded area is called the "Kitchen Sink."” button from the old editor and confirm it works as expected. ([10964](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10964)) 5.

The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access”( i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Accessibility): in the WP Admin main menu on the left, go to Gutenberg > Demo and try to navigate to the pullquote block using the keyboard.

(30th Oct)](https://make.wordpress.org/core/?p=35007)_. #### Accessibility Related I wanted to call out accessibility-related testing steps this time in order to highlight some of the important accessibility updates coming through right now and because it may make sense to group them together while testing. Anyone can help test these! 1. Type some text into a paragraph block and check that the toolbar shows when you press `Escape`. ([10906](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10906)) 2. Add a Media & Text block with an image and change the alt text for the image. ( [11073](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11073)) 3.

Using a screen reader (if you have a Mac you can use VoiceOver and Safari), open the block inserter, search for a block, and check that you hear an audible response for the number of search results or “no results”. ([10755](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10755)) 5. Using a screen reader (if you have a Mac you can use VoiceOver and Safari): add, edit, and then remove a link and check that those actions are announced audibly.( [10795](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10795)) #### Bonus Round I’m also adding a separate section as an optional bonus round for testing. You should test these if you know of (or can find) custom plugins that use some of the updated capabilities (such as registering new toolbar buttons in blocks) or if you would like to help test Gutenberg with popular plugins. If you think of a plugin you’d like to see added, please comment to note it! 1. Add a WordPress embed and check that there is not a big empty space after the block.( [10985](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10985)) 2. Find a plugin that adds buttons to any block toolbar and check that the added buttons are working as expected. ([11196](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11196)) 3. i18n: using a small screen (mobile) and with the site language set to something other than English, log in as a contributor, submit a post, and make sure the “ Submit for Review” button appears. ([10941](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10941)) 4. i18n: change your site language to something other than English and check that taxonomyTaxonomy A taxonomy is a way to group things together. In WordPress, some common taxonomies are category, link, tag, or post format.

([8449](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/8449)) 5. i18n: install a plugin which contains a block name made in a non-Latin script ( e.g. _Список_ for the List block in Russian) and check that the block appears when you type `/сп` into a new block. Note that searching for names with diacrytics should also work. ([10961](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10961), [10770](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10770)) 6. Plugin developers can now disable post publishing (lock the post) if certain conditions aren’t met such as a required a minimum title length, requiring a featured imageFeatured image A featured image is the main image used on your blog archive page and is pulled when the post or page is shared on social media. The image can be used to display in widget areas on your site or in a summary list of posts., disallowing certain types of content, etc. If you have a plugin which has a pre-publish lock or checklist, can you note it in the comments with testing steps? 🙂 ([10649](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10649)) 7. Test with [Advanced Custom Forms (ACF)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/). 8. Test with [Yoast SEO](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/). If you find a new bug, please [file it in `gutenberg` on GitHub](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/new/choose). Thank you! Block developers: note that there are several [deprecations in 4.2](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/reference/deprecated/#4-2-0) to keep an eye on. It is also noteworthy that you can now write a format that is usable across all blocks that use `RichText` ([10209](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/10209)).
