| If you want to help with calls for testing and you don’t have a specific feature you’re working on in mind, there are a few sources to pull from for insight around what would be most impactful to test. When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to ask in the open what folks would like more testing help on in the [Core Dev and Core Editor meetings](https://make.wordpress.org/meetings/). Otherwise, here are sources to examine: | ||

| - Features on roadmap posts for releases often shared 3-4 months before a release ([5.9](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/08/13/preliminary-road-to-5-9/), [6.0](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/01/26/preliminary-roadmap-for-6-0/), [6.1](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/06/04/roadmap-to-6-1/)). | ||

| In terms of format, this will vary based on what’s being tested. For example, you might want to group related feedback for a feature under a heading (“General Usability feedback”) or you might want to keep things more general (“General Usability feedback”). Here’s an [example of a more general summary](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2021/12/16/fse-program-site-editing-safari-summary/) and an [example of one with more specific headings](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2021/10/05/fse-program-block-theme-switching-summary/) based on common groupings of feedback.
