The beta tester:
is a person responsible for testing the software produced by programmers, and delivering at regular intervals a report describing the errors found in the product. The errors are called "bugs" and their description must include the necessary steps to reproduce the bug, so that it is fixed.
He represents the customer or the end user and, as such, is responsible for verifying the proper operation of the software. So-called non-regression tests must then be done on subsequent versions of the software, once the programmers say they have fixed the bug, to check that the changes have corrected the error and have not introduced new errors.
We can distinguish several types of tests:
Be applied. If you are accepted as a beta tester, learn how to make useful remarks to the software manufacturers. Really use the program by following all the steps, and test all the functions. Then send a report to the manufacturer regarding your findings. If you find a bug, report it immediately. If you find that the interface is bad, that the game is hard, or that the performance is bad, say it. Explain in detail what needs to be repaired and what could be improved.
Advertise on the process. Explain your experience to others in a professional and objective way. Do not say publicly wrong about the product you have tested. Remember that the company has hired beta testers to have the opportunity to fix any problems before the product goes on sale. You are there to help them realize what works and what does not work; give them time to remedy the problems. If you are talking about the Beta test, be careful not to reveal things that the sponsor considers to be confidential. They rely on you for an objective test and trust you to act professionally for the duration of the process.

We can distinguish several types of tests:
- The functional test. Its purpose is to verify that the software behaves as provided by the specifications.
- The language test. In the case of software distributed in several languages or in several countries, the purpose of the language test is to verify the quality of the internationalization and regionalization of the software.

The clinical role
R.O.G.E.R is a software that wants to be at the heart of the clinic. In this way, it must be usable by all and for all. It is therefore important that it be proposed in the field to get your feedback.
We want to offer a rewarding use and that our software becomes your software. If you find that improvements can be made, you can offer them to us, if it misses objects, tell us which ones. And if some bugs appear, we will do everything to make them disappear. It is important that everything is tested. From installation to the most complex use, through the editor and basic use. Together, we can create a tool that meets your needs as much as possible. Make R.O.G.E.R the best tool, make R.O.G.E.R your tool !! |
