There is no concrete guide for running a beta, but there are some pointers that can be offered:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Participate in your beta channel.** You are the single most important person in that room- your testers depend on you for updates, correspondence, and feedback. You have to ask them questions about their findings and evaluations.
|
|
|
|
- **Be responsive** to feedback and questions that your testers may have.
|
|
|
|
- **Publicize your beta** (if you so wish) on social media. You will want many testers with their parts kit and errancies in printing to get the best variety of information.
|
|
|
|
- **Be concise** with your beta's requirements. If your beta requires a specific parts kit, and a tester shows up with an incorrect kit, gently guide and tell them how to get the right parts to participate.
|
|
|
|
- **Don't be discouraged** with your beta participation. You will get users that have no kit and join your room just to join. You may see dwindling participation the longer your beta is open. Don't worry- use an "@\\all" to summon them when you have a new update.
