features and compares the outcome with expected

results.

What to tests?

● Test plugin works in various WordPress setups

○ Does it work under multisite?

○ What about a custom content directory?

● Test all code paths in functions and methods

● Test compatiblity between most popular plugins

● Test that default pages exists


What to tests?

● Test for theme support

● Test that post formats contain property elements

● Test any required assets that need to be loaded in

templates

● Test for required elements on a page

● Verify search results template displays search term

● Verify SEO meta tags
