Good thread. It can really help the unknowledged people who want to be beta testers.

 

Yup, so hopefully out of 100 people, maybe well get 80 good testers.

Whoever gets the beta better do their job correctly. If MAG is glitchy when it releases, we will know who to blame :smileytongue:


Yeah, the developers. Beta testers will find & report issues, as will QA testers that work for the developing company (Zipper) and for the publisher (Sony) -- It's up to the developer to fix those issues.

 

A lot of the issues with SOCOM: Confrontation were found by QA Internals @ Slant Six, and Private Beta Testers (including Pictures, Videos, Great write ups & Detail on issues that would pass for a college thesis for gods sake) 

 

What got fixed? Well, it was up to the developer to handle the issues after that.

Re: Beta Testing Defined and Explained - A GOOD READ for the uneducated

Good Post.

 My question though.

 

Is there a difference between

a Software Beta

and a..

Game Betas (Pc, Wii, Ps3 etc.)

 

Becuase most of the Betas I joined were Software Betas

And did 1 PC game Beta.

Would that count me as an inexperienced PS3 Beta user?

 

In the Reg. for Beta, I put yes for i have been in a Beta before.

Will that be counted against me?
