- ----------------------------------------------------
- Subject: What was comp.sources.testers created for ?
-
- CHARTER:
-
- The purpose of this newsgroup is to give authors of software packages a
- place to post in hopes of finding people willing to test their packages.
- No source code should ever be posted to comp.sources.testers.
-
- comp.sources.testers should be used as a first stage before posting to
- any of the source newsgroups, including alt.sources, comp.sources.misc,
- comp.sources.games, comp.sources.unix, the various machine specific source
- groups, and even comp.sources.reviewed.
-
- Most of the subject lines should look like
-
- Subject: Need beta testers for ppmtovcr, another portable bitmap converter
-
- or perhaps final announcements like
-
- Subject: Done with gamma testing for ppmtovcr, posted to c.s.misc
-
- along with acknowledgments. Cross posts into comp.sources.testers are fine
- when there's an appropriate subject group. Topics like
-
- Subject: What metrics do you use for evaluating object-oriented programs?
-
- belong in comp.software-eng, not comp.sources.testers.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: Why not use alt.sources ? It seems to have been serving
- the community well.
-
- There are those that would *disagree*... Initially, alt.sources was
- established as a place where the net could post sources that was not
- moderated, such as comp.sources.unix. Its usage has evolved into a
- group where authors post beta software in hopes that people take the
- time to compile/debug them. The author then hopes to hear of problems
- from those who took the time to look at their packages. This approach
- forces all problems to be aired in public. Communication with the author
- before beta testing begins is not how alt.sources works today, flooding
- the net with alpha/beta software is.
-
- Blasting sources out everywhere is not for c.s.testers. The idea is to
- put people together to work towards improving a package. Authors may
- not want to post alpha (read that as knowingly buggy) code to the world.
- Many times the author of a package would like to have a small group of
- people actively working on a program. Often the author sets up a mailing
- list for the group members to use to pass ideas and bug fixes back and
- forth. It is much easier to post "oops, I was dumb" messages to an
- isolated, much smaller, and more interactive group than to post messages
- of this type to the world.
-
- Another problem with alt.sources is that many sites do not take the
- newsgroup because they are on the end of slow links which must pay to
- receive news. With comp.sources.testers, a site of this type can
- receive this low volume newsgroup and still be a part of the potential
- beta testing community.
-
- And as for the signal to flame ratio in alt.sources... Never mind. :-)
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: Is there a list of people willing to try things out ?
-
- The following have offered to be Beta Testers on a request by request
- basis. Do not expect that they will always have the time or interest
- to be a tester. Their inclusion on this list is strictly voluntary
- and they should be commended for their contributions.

- Subject: How do I get added or deleted from the list of testers ?
-
- Send email to:
- testers@sparky.sterling.com
-
- Make sure that you clearly indicate you want to be included or removed
- from the list. Please include the types of platforms that you have
- available for testing. I will from time to time contact you to assure
- that you still wish to be included on the list.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------
- Subject: What comp.sources.testers is *NOT* for.
-
- - c.s.testers is not a place to post test messages to see if your news
- software is properly configured. See the next section for more info.
-
- - c.s.testers is not a place to advertise your capabilities or experiences
- as a tester if you are interested in testing for cash payment. The
- group was formed to provide a forum for volunteer testers wishing to
- contribute in improving packages that interested them. If you are
- looking to test for profit, post your messages to one of the appropriate
- misc.jobs groups.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- Subject: Where do I test my news software at ?
-
- Please do *not* post test messages to comp.sources.testers !
-
- If you wish to test your news software, create a local group and try
- using that first. When that works, locate a regional group to test
- posting articles to the world. Ask your upstream feed for the name
- of an appropriate regional newsgroup near you. If you really feel
- that you must post a test message that needs to go to most every news
- system worldwide, use misc.test, or news.test. Just remember, messages
- posted to the world costs other sites money.
