The /particle command does not appear to work, either i. in the Chat console, or ii. in a command block.
For example, one of the strings I tried was as follows:
/particle minecraft:test_bounce ~ ~2 ~
However, no particle effects show up. I have also tried different syntax variations, as well as other particle effects, eg:
/particle test_bounce ~ ~2 ~
/particle minecraft:test_bounce 18 70 18 [using specific coordinates]
/particle minecraft:mobflame_emitter ~ ~2 ~ [using other particle effects]
(When I tried this in a command block, I tried both a <repeating/always active> block, as well as an <impulse/needs redstone> block.)
However, all yield the same result, ie no particles being displayed.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I can confirm that even with experimental gameplay on, typing in Minecraft:test or Minecraft:example will not yield a result
Using the example above, particles are working in the latest beta 1.11.0.7.
The particles can be seen as part of the Vanilla Resource Pack files here: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Add-on
After unzipping the files, go to the particles folder, and you can see all of the data driven particles there.
Another working example is:
/particle minecraft:crit_emitter ~ ~2 ~I didn't test it in beta because I'm working on logging into xbox live in 1.10 release that seems to not working for me
Mapmakers can create their own particles in a resource pack. The example ones were removed since they were just examples, I don't think this is a bug.
I'd like to confirm that the particle command does in fact work. What's listed online doesn't work, so don't rely on that. Mega_Spud stated in a previous comment that you'll need to download the default resource and look in the Particles folder, and they are right. In that folder are a bunch of json files. You'll need to open them as text files. In one of the top lines will be something like "minecraft:particle", for example, "minecraft:arrow_spell_emitter". This is what's needed to run the command
Is the bug being fixed? I need it for one of my maps I need the particle /particle Minecraft:test_smoke_puff. Please fix it as soon as possible. No rush take your time.
The test particles were just that, tests, and were removed as they are no longer necessary.
Here is the list of current particles:

Have you enabled Experimental Gameplay features? Does toggling that enable the particles to work?
In the latest beta, you will need to use example rather than test, for example:
