Joost de Valk has started a conversation about developers testing their work with other developers’ plugins in Post Status Slack. Joost wants to take on what he calls an “integration problem:”

“Every integration with another plugin we [at Yoast] add forces us to test the basic features of that plugin, with our plugin running, to see if we donโ€™t break that plugin. So weโ€™re testing their feature set. Other plugins do the same with us… I know of WooCommerce and Jetpack doing this with us to some extent. This feels incredibly wasteful.”

If you are a developer and a Post Status member, I suggest you check out his proposal and the responses so far. This is a very interesting line of thinking about developer cooperation. ๐Ÿค
