Testing Screenshots #

All our testing is recorded via screenshots. This:

• allows other team members to understand the work you have done
• provides a permament record of all testing done.

Testing Screenshot Naming #

Using a consistent naming format for all screenshots makes it easier for others to understand your work

As testing screenshots are generally taken again & again at different plugin versions, this requires some specific naming requirements.

Each testing screenshot name must clearly identify:

• Date the screenshot is taken
• Tested plugin version
• Backend or Frontend (if applicable)
• Name of the main test
• Short description of the screenshot

We use a consistent naming format for all screenshots:

Description – section-subsection_plugin_version_date.format

These descriptions should depict the section & subsection where the screenshot is located on Manual Testing.

Some examples:

• Add Logic Item – Drag and Drop_CF7 Skins Logic_v2.0_2022-04-13.png
• Form Options Section_v2.4.1_2020-10-07.png

[ADD examples of good & bad testing screenshot naming]

For similar images, do NOT use name numbering e.g. Tooltips_Contact-Form-7-Form-Area_v2.5.2_2022-04-14_01.jpg

Instead, differentiate through description e.g. Tooltips – CF7 Form Area – Add Multi Tab_v2.5.2_2022-04-14.jpg

Testing Screenshot Indexing (Serial Numbers) #

Screenshot Indexing allows screenshots to be sorted in a logical order. This helps:

• others to understand the flow & sequence of testing done
• keep screenshots organized in an logical order
• avoid confusion when screenshots of added or modified
• simplify re-testing by following same sequence order

Some examples:

• 01_set file size limit for file(upload) field_commit-1e991ad_2024-05-03.png
• 2024-06-17_16_changing style for the test form.png
• 2024-06-20_02a_no-warning_develop.png
• Hidden Lists_03_Form Items – Expand_v3.0_commit-c60cc69_2024-06-17.png
• CF7 Skins Settings color scheme_v2.5.0_2022-01-19_01c.png

If helpful, screenshot indexing can be done with using combination of alpha-numeric scheme like 01a01, 01a02:

• 2022-04-12_01a03_Added New Tab_Multi Tab_v2.5.1.png
• 2022-04-12_01a012_Dragged and moved tab_Frontend_Multi Tab_v2.5.1.png
