Introduction
This website documents my participation in the WordPress Credits program as part of my academic project for the course Computación y Sociedad. The purpose of this project is to contribute to the WordPress open-source community through practical and meaningful work.
Contribution Area
Core (Testing). This project focuses on contributing to the WordPress Core through the Testing component, helping to identify, document, and verify bugs in the core software.
Project Description
This academic project consists of contributing to the WordPress open-source community by participating in the testing of WordPress Core. The work involves the use of Trac, the official issue tracking system used by WordPress developers, to review reported tickets, reproduce bugs in controlled environments, and provide structured feedback to the development team.
Through this contribution, I will gain practical experience in collaborative software development, quality assurance, and open-source workflows.

Additionally, this project aims to develop technical skills in software testing and strengthen my understanding of the WordPress ecosystem.
