Date: 16/08/09
Phase: Beta testing
Version: 0.9.1b
Summary of Activities:
Following the advice of my academic advisor, a walkthrough and guide has been created so the beta user may have a source of reference during testing. The walkthrough will test the user's ability to use the environment. Additionally, a personal report of bugs and other glitches found along the way will be made by myself. This will take some of the load off the tester and allow them to focus upon testing and understanding the environment itself.
Notes:
The first test is to start this week.
