Beta testing is the last test of a developed product before it is definitely released to the end user. It is carried out by a group of enthusiastic users to check performance in real life situations, across a wide range of devices and needs.
What are the benefits of beta testing?
· Users can enjoy new features earlier.
· Developers can detect bugs and other issues that could have gone undetected during the initial test of the product.
· The product can be checked against a wide range of devices and versions in real life conditions.
What are the nuances of beta testing?
· The application may crash more often.
· New tools may not be fully functional.
· We expect testers to give us detailed feedback.
· We may follow the feedback with further questions.
· We may collect data on the use made of the product (device type, tools used...).
If beta testing feels like a burden, we kindly ask users not to join for beta testing, or unregister if you already are.
JOIN BETA TESTING
· Install NaturaList -> Join for beta testing.
· NaturaList is already installed: Join for Beta testing. There is no need to re install the application
LEAVE BETA TESTING
· Leave beta testing > Uninstall the application > Re install the application.
