Hi y'all. I've recently been added to the list of beta testers, and I was surprised that the beta testers "team" does not have a leader. I put to Aaron that we would be giving code and asked to break it, as opposed to having any co-ordination or scripts or anything, and he thought that might be the case. I am no "skilled" tester - I'm a Java developer - but I do realise the importance of testing and the importance of focusing that testing. I feel that with no proper co-ordination the testing stage will be next to useless, and lets face it, if any type of software that needs good testing, it'd be a new OS. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself, but should we not be on the look out for a professional tester who could co-ordinate the beta-testing, so that beta-testers time is well spent and meaningful. Make sure that certain features / apps are tested in different conditions / systems / etc. Cheers - Col. (ps - don't get me wrong here - I am not offering myself for this post - I haven't the ability - although I can follow test scripts, when written =] ) This transmission is confidential and intended solely for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.
