Tide: The Next Big Thing on Coding Standards

Tide is a series of automated tests run against every plugin and theme in the directory and then displays PHP compatibility and test errors/warnings in the directory.

Tide is currently in development for Integration on WordPress.org, and as soon as it will be merged with WordPress.org, all Plugins and Themes will have a Tide Score attached to them.

This will help users better understand what plugins and themes to install so they don’t break their sites with incompatible plugins and themes.

The coding standards Tide uses are WordPress-Core, WordPress-Docs, and WordPress-Extra from the PHPCS WPCS project.

This will eventually help Developers write reliable and secure code.

My Topic if selected shall cover the following workflow.

• Introduction to TIDE – Audit and Score WordPress Themes and Plugins based on Code Quality
• How will TIDE affect User Decision while choosing Plugins and Themes?
• How shall Tide improve the WordPress Ecosystem?
• How to install Tide Tests in a Local Environment?
• How to improve Code Quality and pass TIDE Audit?

My aim was too aware the Developers to prepare for TIDE and improve code quality and to follow strict WordPress Coding Standards.
