 There is a guide https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/patch/,
 though it requires some prior knowledge of setting up a local development
 environment, which is by no means intuitive. I can try to answer any
 questions you have though. In terms of more informal, manual testing, an
 option would be to manually download a clean copy of WordPress, set up an
 install on a local server, and simply copy and paste the code to the
 relevant files.

 To try it out, you would need to force maintenance mode by creating a file
 called ".maintenance." in the root directory (where wp-config.php lives),
 and adding this line of code:


 {{{
 <?php $upgrading = time(); ?>
 }}}
