1.0 Prerelease: Calling For Dedicated Testers

[stykzman]

Just as I did with RC4, I am looking for a small group of dedicated testers to test 1.0 before it goes out the door...

Here's what the requirements are for any of you who wish to volunteer (these are the same requirements as before):

1. You need to be able to devote a good chunk of time to test (a couple hours at least)
   
2. You need to be able to read and follow a set of testing instructions (see below)
   
3. You need to be able to be clear and specific in any bugs you report - it will just waste time if I have to go back and forth with you in order to find out what the bug really is
   
4. You need to promise NOT to give a copy of the pre-1.0 to anyone - it will only hurt the reputation of Stykz in the community if a 1.0 is made available before the regression bugs have been fixed.
   
5. You need to fit one of the minimum computer spec profiles listed below (or better)

Minimum Computer Spec Profiles:

• XP Profile: Windows XP (any version), with Service Pack 3 and 1.5 GHz+ processor and 1GB+ RAM
  
• Vista Profile: Windows Vista (any version), with Service Pack 1 or 2, a 1.5 GHz processor, and 1GB+ RAM
  
• Win7 Profile: Windows 7 (any version), a 1.5 GHz+ processor, and 1GB+ RAM
  
• Leopard/PPC Profile: OS X 10.5.1 or higher, 1.5GHz+ PowerPC processor, 1GB+ RAM
  
• Leopard/Intel Profile: OS X 10.5.1 or higher, 1.5GHz+ Intel processor, 1GB+ RAM
  
• Show Leopard Profile: OS X 10.6 or higher, 1.5GHz+ Intel processor, 1GB+ RAM

I'd like to optimally get at least 1 volunteer for each profile (although 2 would be better). Volunteers will receive:

• A copy of Stykz 1.0 Prerelease
  
• A list of the feature additions, changes, and bug fixes in the 1.0 build to refer to during testing
  
• A set of testing instructions that will list out at a minimum what to test, what things to look for, and how to report things back

If you're interested in getting involved as 1 1.0 tester, PM me with the Profile you want to test for, your computer specs and an idea of about how much time you think you can give to Stykz testing.

Thanks!

Hmm... I'd like to do this, but as school draws to a close things get busier... Not sure I'd have time to devote to it... If you need a Windows 7 profile, I guess I'll do it though.

I could do this in about a week... when does it happen? This would be fo a Windows XP profile.

I can test the Vista profile, I could probably be testing for an hour a day.

i already Pmed you, but i could also test this out on my dads mac,
im pretty sure its a 2.66 ghz core 2 duo
osX 10.5.6
and 2 gigs of ram.
i can test it
but not for as much time as i can with my windows 7 PC

Yeah... finally!
The only reason I joined this forum was for bug testing. I find bug killing is like a game.... a challenge... so I'm not really interested in animating.
Stykz was the most fun to play... Can't wait to squash some bugs! ^^

Bring it on!!

Thanks DF, but I have three people doing Win 7 so no worries.

Well, it would be great to have another XP tester, but I was hoping that we'd be done testing within a week. Why don't you PM your specs to me and when you'll be available next week and if the testing extends into next week I'll contact you.

But for the 2.0 or whatever the next version is, could i please do the Snow Leopard one please?
