[theme-reviewers] Need input from all ( if posssible )

[Rohit Tripathi]

Hi,
I start from the License details. I check license details for all resources and the theme. Then check the Author and ThemeURI, once that's done. I start with the header.php followed by functions.php, footer.php and all the other files.
I review the Theme Unit tests towards the end.
Merry Christmas.

Hi Jose,

My theme reviewing process is nearly similar to Emil, and the following Theme Review Points of Emphasis by Chip Bennett are really helpful to me as well,

More, I usually study the tickets owned by WPTRT Admins to refresh and increase my knowledge.
Thanks

Hey Jose,
Just like anything else, we should always have a plan and method in place
when reviewing Themes.
For instance I tend to start from the bottom up and/or other way around.

footer.php and header.php are usually where "you" can find the potentialproblems, such as improper scripts/styles inclusion, bad links, deprecatedfunctions, plugin-territory stuff etc.


If all this "checks-out" I like to open functions.php and go from there.
Getting familiar with the guidelines is the key.


My 2¢ :) 
Thanks,Emil

Hey guys and gals,
Some time ago I asked what you felt makes for a good theme reviewer. Some things of course included WP knowledge and coding chops. I know I don't do as many reviews as I used to but when I do I feel like I could improve the experience not only for myself but for the developer.



As of late there have been a few more people added to the reviewer list and I think it's awesome to see more people wanting to help. :)
I would love to hear tips, advice from some of the more experienced reviewers as well as new as to what you think makes for a good theme review. What process do you use, what steps do you take, what things do you look for?



Please share even if it's something simple as I use X-plugin or I really like how _name_ does reviews.
I know for me when I assign myself a theme one of the first things I do is look through the SVN link files and make sure there are no custom-anything that could be lost when switching a theme. That does include widgets, meta-data, meta_*, CPT and what not. A good portion of the time I do use a localhost setup but try my best to use my domain to test. I do use some custom posts for video, audio and images but for the rest it's the TUT.
