Today's WordPress plugin developers have a ton of great tools available for them for modern PHP and JavaScript development. We can make use of various tools including dependency management, automated testing, React and more to improve our code quality, development workflow and most importantly: the end user experience. Automated testing, along with code quality tools help us maintain our plugins and avoid bugs.

Josh will also demonstrate how to use these tools for plugin development, and how to use Plugin Machine to add new features to your plugins while you develop.
