I can think of three points where you might want to focus your efforts: * write tests to verify reported bugs (see <https://bugs.php.net/>) * improve/fix existing tests, which are failing sometimes (see <http://qa.php.net/reports/run_tests.php>) * add tests for yet uncovered code paths (see <http://gcov.php.net/>) Submit new/improved tests as pull requests against <https://github.com/php/php-src>. -- Christoph M.
