Daily Build Testing Plan

The following tests and checks should be done on OpenShot Video Editor Daily Builds each week. They should also be done on all supported operating systems (Linux, Mac, and Windows). This list of tests is designed to verify the basic features and behavior of OpenShot, and to ensure no major regressions have happened during a release cycle. Please download and use the following Media Test Files.

Once all these tests have passed, then the tested build is a success! 🚀
