Beta Testing Sequences
The software has reached beta stage when it is operating with most of its functionality, and is ready for user feedback from your company. Beta tests enable the software to be tested in the client's environment, giving users the opportunity to exercise the software, find errors, and correct them before the application is launched. The project managers record, track, and address reported bugs and make all documentation changes.
Beta testing provides important input from users. Medius will engage your company to perform beta testing to evaluate:
| Software functionality |
| Algorithms used or programmed |
| User roles |
| Problem solving or tutorials |
| Subject matter technical content |
| Ease of use |
| User documentation |
Three or more beta testers are recommended for each software project. The beta testers will need to check the technical accuracy of the software, and will use it with their own computer setups, data and workflows to make sure that the software will perform as desired in their own environments. Medius recommends listing the names of beta testers (with their permission) in the Acknowledgments section of the user documentation.
