The meeting started on Slack here.

@hellofromtonya introduced agenda of the meeting and shared a post that describes where the testers are needed during the week. At the end of introduction, Team Test Update was shared.

The team was able to decrease the numbers of tickets.

Modernizing to the Latest PHPUnit

@hellofromtonya described how this changes impact Core testers. Anyone that’s running the PHP test suite or buil automated integration tests, should read the dev note.

For running the PHP test suite with Docker, nothing changes in your workflow:

npm install
npm run build:dev
npm run env:start
npm run env:install

and for running the tests:

npm run test:php

for running a specific group:

npm run test:php -- --group groupname

When not using Docker to test, then there are extra steps. The handbook and Dev Note provide the details.

5.9 Test Roadmap

In 5.9 release, Test Team will introduce the roadmap.

Everyone agreed that it’s necessary and help with the process of analyse and future improvement. @hellofromtonya also mention that we’ll implement a longer term vision, called North Star.

@justinahinon shared his document that is a great roadmap for automate tests focal group.

Focal Groups

@hellofromtonya shared an idea to have 5 separate focal groups in Test Team, each will need folks to shepherd the group:

• e2e – @justinahinon
• PHP Test – @hellofromtonya
• QA – @mai21
• Test Handbook – @francina
• Manual Testing – @boniu91

If anyone is interested in being a co-lead of any group, it’s definitely possible and the Team is looking forward for new members.

@hellofromtonya shared expectations:

• Shepherd your focal group – meaning be active in it, help contributors, know the status, help move work forward, stay aligned to the roadmap, and help to develop the roadmap
• Each week – share an update for your group (can go in the team’s update)
• When blocked or need more help, ping Team Reps or another group for help

Last words

Team agreed that we need a bit of advertisment of our group.
