======Testing Code======
The Evergreen community can always use help from volunteers willing to test newly-contributed code.

According to community guidelines, each piece of new code needs to be tested and get a sign-off from somebody else before it can be merged into Evergreen

Testing involves the following steps:

   - Loading the code on a non-production server. If you cannot load code or cannot work with a local tech person to load code, you can submit a [[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ai8yL-XbCo3v8dxgMTCYcam_OtM93yzXv1WYF3MUm8Y/viewform?usp=send_form|request for an Evergreen Sandbox.]] 
   - To avoid duplication of effort, add yourself to the "Assigned To" field in the Launchpad bug.
   - If your testing finds the bug fix works as expected and does not break other functionality:
     - [[dev:git#signing_off_on_one_or_more_commits|sign off on the code through git]] or add a comment to the Launchpad bug that says "I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, [enter name or consistent alias], and my email address, [enter email address]."
     - Add a //signedoff// tag to the LP bug.
     - Remove yourself from the "Assigned To" field.
   - If you discover problems when testing, add a comment to the Launchpad bug and remove yourself from the "Assigned To" field.
