Chickent_Nug Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Hi! I was wondering how to go about joining the closed beta tester program for DCS. In the past I did similar stuff for Insurgency: Sandstorm(searching for bugs in game) when it was in its technical alpha stage, and I loved it, so I wanted to see if I could do something similar for DCS. Thanks! -Chickent_Nug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Jaw Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 You won't like my input but it's by invitation only. I've pestered them on and off for years, particularly with a jet I know inside and out simming wise. Nothing. Ever.

Rasmus Højgaard Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 How do the closed beta team look for bugs? Are they systematically going through every possible scenario you can imagine the Apache will be in? Or are they just playing the game and reporting every bug back? Are the bugs they are looking for “big scale” in regards to how the module interacts with the maps? Or “small scale” internal bugs with the module?

unlikely_spider Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I've done software testing for work, and often organizations have checklists that cover the most commonly used features and scenarios. Checklists are used so that testing is done in a consistent and structured manner, and to standardize communication and to keep documentation of test history. I'd imagine that ED does similar. And often these test plans are proprietary info, but if an admin wants to shed light on what is covered then I'm sure they will. 2 Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And often these test plans are proprietary info, but if an admin wants to shed light on what is covered then I'm sure they will. Seriously, this is a more in-depth scenario. The testers, if they are motivated enough, would go beyond the "checklist" and submit extra issues and problems found to the developers. It is finally up to the developers how to handle these reports. VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

AlphaOneSix Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 If it is still like it used to be, the closed beta testers don't have a checklist or script, it is up to them to perform tests on their own. They do also confirm bugs by trying to duplicate them under various conditions, as well as confirm the resolution of bugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! -Chickent_Nug Get involved with the community play the game and report (or add to the report that is already reported) anything you think is a bug. Then maybe in a few years time they (ED) might take notice and think about it. <<guarantee not given Edited February 18, 2022 by joey45 The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
