-
- a. By pressing the 'F2' key you are asked to provide bug
- information about the application you are presently testing.
- You are asked to be very specific so we may use this
- information to attempt to reproduce the bug.
-
- b. The 'F3' key will gain useful information about the
- system you are using to test the beta application. Please
- fill out all lines as accurately as possible.
-
- c. To describe the bug problem press 'F4'. Please be
- in-depth while being brief.
-
- d. The 'F5' key is used to tell us what actions you took
- to attempt to correct the noted bug. This includes but is not
- limited to removing the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
-
- e. A DOS shell is provided by pressing the 'F6' key.
-
- f. The 'F7' is provided so you may included specific
- recommendations for future releases of the product.
-
- g. The 'F8' key will ask for specific information about a
- certain application you are testing. This may or may not be
- used depending upon the needs of the developer.
-
- h. Pressing 'F9' will save all current files and exit to
- DOS. This is useful when you wish to research a particular
- bug more thoroughly and do not wish to create a new bug
- report.
-
- i. To create a report press the 'F10' key. Once you have
- created a report, the Beta Report program will create a file
- called BETA.RPT. The BETA.RPT file will contain both the
- report that you just created and the status of your machine
- at the time you wrote the report. This is the file that we
- need to have uploaded to us. Once you have written your
- second report, the report program will rename your first
- report to BETA.1. The same situation will happen for your
- third report, where BETA.RPT will be renamed to BETA.2, etc.
- The most current report will always be named BETA.RPT.
