1. OBJECTIVe
The purpose of this QA testing is to ensure all the core and custom NIQ blocks function as intended. This post or page was built from scratch with each element deriving directly from the WP v6.5 editor toolbox library.
Also, this page serves as our QA test documentation report as well as a WordPress v.6.5 live QA test post. This special QA post can also be useful as template/test page or insightful training material to anyone.
Moreover, this page along with all its elements were entirely and organically produced from WordPress v6.5 platform – NIQ and core blocks, no imported or duplicated blocks from the previous version WordPress v6.4.

2. overview & dISCRIPTION
We’d need to test functionality of the back-end and front-end for these sites for any possible issues as well as make a note of new WP enhancements for us to adopt.
Moreover, all NIQ custom blocks are critically important because they are the fabric of nielseniq.com website, hence testing core and custom elements is the foremost focus of this QA process.
Thoroughly, ensure components behave as intended.

3. Test PLAN & INSTRUCTIONS
All core and custom blocks are critical part of this QA – without them there won’t be nielseniq.com. The holistic approach here is to build a new post so to ensure NOT only existent posts are functioning properly.
Additionally, test and ensure NIQ custom taxonomy/tags are fully functional by following these essential steps:
- Look at an existent post and check its taxonomies in WordPress Editor and front-end.
- Create a new post and select random taxonomies you target to test then review on the browser frontend.
- For instance, check the browser URL address to detect selected tags? Let’s check to see if – en for English as language tag corresponds then continue testing the different tags until satisfied.

Reported Issues & Outcomes:
No issues were seen during testing in 6.5; at a later date, testing will need to be repeated with the inclusion of the Block Bindings and Interactivity APIs.
5. qa test supporting documentation
A simple Word/PDF document would’ve sufficed as QA test documentation but I thought this new WordPress v6.5 contained very few new UI changes that it was better documenting and testing it directly on the page.
With that in mind, I created this post and put all new blocks directly from the library so we can test them live on the page while also learning about some of the new features.
This approach was more purposeful than just simply a gargantuan PDF document with full of screenshots. Below are LIVE WordPress core and NIQ Custom blocks in action:

All Block Elements in Action – Live QA:
PREVIOUSLY-REPORTED ISSUES WITH BLOCKS
This block was constantly breaking based on our earlier reporting of WP v6.3 QA testing and progress status.
The image on the right was captured on Tuesday, August 22, 2023 during our Daily Scrum. This specific block was breaking constantly even after attempting to recover it. Below, we will see on our live QA test that it’s now functioning properly..
We’re no longer noticing this issue percolating hence we’re resolved on this as a pass result.
This live QA of the block indicates that this issue we were experiencing has been contained hence I conclude this was a successful operation.
Previous block error screenshot is shown on the left while a stable and functioning file upload WP core block is live on the right.
NOTIFCATION:
Anything below at this point on can be modified as needed for the purpose of QA/UAT testing and more but nothing prior this explicit note
This is also partially a QA test report as aforementioned that cannot be altered but by its author..
Nonetheless, feel free to add new blocks or anything below this notification that can enhance this experience.

This is an example of NIQ Smart List Pulling data from Career page through tagging.
Note:
DO NOT modify any NIQ Reusable blocks at any moment because these blocks are shared throughout multiple pages hence any alterations will eminently affect other posts. It is an imperative fact to retain throughout the process of creating, publishing and editing posts.
Also, Navigation menus are like reusable block – DO NOT change them because altering them will affect multiple pages.
