# Beta Testing New Features
|
||||
|
||||
Beta testing is vital to ensuring our releases are as bug free as possible and to ensure we hear user feedback before putting changes live. Anyone can beta test; shop owners, plugin developers, theme developers, translators, any and all help is welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
We do understand however that the process of testing can be a little bit of a hassle since you need to download a tagged release and then upload it to your testing site manually. Sometimes this can also cause issues with plugin directory naming as well, because tagged releases will not have a directory named `woocommerce`. This can break extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
To make this process easier, we have released a beta testing plugin to help install the WooCommerce beta versions, and to ensure the directory names are kept correct.
|
||||
|
||||
Please ensure you test responsibly, it is not a good idea to run beta versions on a production site unless you have experience and can anticipate changes and failures.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing the Beta Tester Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, and install the beta tester plugin which you can download from:
|
||||
|
||||
[WooCommerce Beta Tester](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-beta-tester/)
|
||||
|
||||
This plugin will give you access to all of the WooCommerce versions uploaded to [WordPress.org]. This includes beta releases and release candidates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Giving Feedback
|
||||
|
||||
During testing, if you come across a bug or want to propose or contribute an enhancement, [submit an issue on Github](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/new?assignees=&labels=type%3A+enhancement%2Cstatus%3A+awaiting+triage&template=2-enhancement.yml&title=%5BEnhancement%5D%3A+). Ensure you read our guidelines on contributing and note which version you are using specifically. It is also possible to easily submit a new GitHub issue through the [beta tester plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-beta-tester/).
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes we may also ask for feedback via other means, such as the surveys and calls for testing on the [developer blog](https://developer.woo.com/blog/). We appreciate immediate feedback, comments, and responses to surveys as it helps us judge how well received our releases and betas are and will help us shape future versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks for testing WooCommerce!
