+# Reviewing Tests
+
+In order to encourage a high level of quality in the W3C test
+suites, test contributions must be reviewed by a peer.
+
+```eval_rst

+ checklist

+
+## Test Review Policy
+
+The reviewer can be anyone (other than the original test author) that
+has the required experience with both the spec under test and with
+the [general test guidelines](../writing-tests/general-guidelines).
+
+The review must happen in public, but there is no requirement for it
+to happen in any specific location. In particular if a vendor is
+submitting tests that have already been publicly reviewed in their own
+review system, that review may be carried forward. For other submissions, we
+recommend using GitHub's built-in review tools.
+
+Regardless of what review tool is used, the review must be clearly
+linked in the pull request.
+
+In general, we tend on the side of merging things with nits (i.e.,
+anything sub-optimal that isn't absolutely required to be right) and
+then opening issues to leaving pull requests open indefinitely waiting
+on the original submitter to fix them; when tests are being upstreamed
+from vendors it is frequently the case that the author has moved on to
+working on other things as tests frequently only get pushed upstream
+once the code lands in their implementation.
+
+To assist with test reviews, a [review checklist](checklist) is available.
+
+[GitHub.com allows reviewers to formally signal their approval of a pull
+request through a dedicated user
+interface.](https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-pull-request-reviews)
+Every pull request submitted to WPT must be approved by at least one project
+collaborator before it can be merged.
+
+## Notifications
+
+META.yml files are used to indicate who should be notified of pull
+requests. If you are interested in receiving notifications of proposed
+changes to tests in a given directory, feel free to add your GitHub account
+username to the `suggested_reviewers` list in the META.yml file.
+
+## Finding contributions to review
+
+Here are a few search filters to find things to review:

+* [Reviewed but still open PRs (excluding vendor exports)](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+-label%3Amozilla%3Agecko-sync+-label%3Achromium-export+-label%3Awebkit-export+-label%3Aservo-export+-label%3Avendor-imports+review%3Aapproved+-label%3A%22do+not+merge+yet%22+-label%3A%22status%3Aneeds-spec-decision%22) (Merge? Something left to fix? Ping other reviewer?)
