IndieWeb Plugin Testing and Suggestions Project – Planning

The Purpose

Testing and Offering Suggestions on the IndieWeb Plugins. One of the plugin authors said that he wished he had a volunteer to help test the plugins. I volunteered. I had to think about how to do this and the steps are below.

The Scope

The scope includes all plugins on the IndieWeb plugin plugins page that don’t require a classic theme.

Assumptions

• A block theme and not a classic theme will be used.
• Some plugins won’t be tested because of the use of a block theme.

The Plan

• List the Plugins. (Name, descriptions, WordPress.org link, IndieWeb.org link, and GitHub link)
• Pull the descriptions from the IndieWeb plugin interface.
• Pull the descriptions from the plugin page on WordPress.org.
• Pull the description from IndieWeb.org.
• List the features based on the WordPress.org description.
• View the plugins settings page to try to identify the feature through the settings.
• Test the plugin by performing an action related to the features list and record the results.
• Record the test results.
• Record my suggestions.
• Put it in a blog post.
• Post negative results on the plugin’s GitHub page, if I see an error.
• Let David S. know in the IndieWeb WordPress Slack channel.
