Canary Wizard coordinates a guided WordPress maintenance and testing workflow.
Why use Canary Wizard
Manual testing can become difficult to audit when several changes and tests are performed in sequence.
The Wizard creates a clearer process around:
- Baseline
- Change
- Retest
- Result comparison
- Confidence/review
Starting a Wizard workflow
Canary Wizard can be initiated as part of the supported import/confirmation workflow when the option is enabled.
Typical workflow
1. Prepare the environment
The instance must first reach a usable state.
2. Establish the baseline
Run the required checks before updates.
3. Perform the maintenance step
Apply the intended update or controlled change.
4. Retest
Run the relevant checks again.
5. Compare
Review changes between baseline and retest results.
6. Review confidence
Use the resulting evidence as one input into the maintenance decision.
What to review
Pay attention to:
- Workflow state
- Current step
- Instance state
- Baseline results
- Update result
- Retest result
- Failures
- Follow-up messages
- Confidence information
Understanding confidence
Confidence should be interpreted as a summary of available evidence, not a guarantee that a change is safe.
Always review the underlying tests and warnings.
A confidence score without its supporting test evidence should not replace operator judgment.
If the workflow stops
Determine which step failed.
Then review:
- Instance state
- Test failure
- Update failure
- Logs
- Workflow messages
Resume or retry only when the failed operation is understood.
