### Validating an issue or pull request
A lot of emphasis is put on contributing code, but did you know that you can significantly help the maintainers by validating the contributions of others? Here are three ways to do that:
* **See if you can duplicate an issue** reported by someone else. If you validate an issue, add any additional context, steps or observations that might be missing or otherwise feel important.
#### Reproducing a reported bug
You can contribute to an open source project by validating an issue or adding additional context to an existing issue.
* **Validate that a PR fixes an issue as intended**. Merge a PR into the related version and test. Update the PR comments with your test outcome.
* **Updating issues**, or tasks with additional information that helped you test, or work through the solution.
