Working great

Perfect for developers to test plugins with new versions of WP.

Great tool

Seems to work as expected. Great tool to test plugins before release and ensure they are compatible with the next WordPress release. So thank you for the plugin.

Mandatory for a plugin developer!

As a plugin developer, I need this extension to be able to test my plugin against future versions before the officiale release.
