Urgent Need for Three Shop Beta-Testers

I have a surprise debuting on Nov. 19th in the shop.

In order to do this debut, Margaret and I have to upgrade to the new shop software, because buyers need to be able to find and download multiple files from the same purchase.

I need three shop beta-testers who can commit two hours a day for two five-day periods to hammering the software and breaking things. Here’s the schedule Margaret sent me:

Nov 1-4 – I fix the bugs I know about and upgrade to the latest patches.
Nov 5-10 – beta testers hammer and report bugs. I try to fix as I go.
Nov 10-12 – finish fixing
Nov 13-15 – beta testers hammer again
Nov 16-18 – final patching and transfer over

If you can help out, you get a free copy of the surprise debut thing, which is worth a fair chunk of change. If you want the details, join my mailing list, right to your left on this page. But be quick. The beta offer goes away at midnight tonight my time and won’t be back until the official debut.

If you can do this—and I know it’s a big time commitment—please post here. First three who sign up are in.

Drat, I hate being on a different time zone! I’m on holidays from now till, like February, so I’m available and willing for anything you need a hand with.

Hey-

Willing to lend a hand at any stage…
My background is tech, my life is in marketing, and in a previous version I was a user interface/experience specialist… because I don’t look at the screen as a tech jock, but as a user would.

If you need me, contact at will.

Free surprises are all the comp I ever need, and yours will certainly be worth the time!

Did I mention, I’m good at kissing-up, too?

There’s already three people responding, but just in case:

I’m available to help as well. In case you need it, I have a background in software, IT, web design, and a bunch of other blather. =)

What does “hammering” require?

Do the two hours have to be in one chunk or can it be throughout the day?

If the answer to the second question is “throughout the day” and the first one is “stuff that doesn’t require a technical background”, then I’m game.

Hi Holly,

I’d be happy to help you beta test. I have a technical editor and software development background, so I think I can be of help.

I can do it. It’d be in the evenings, but I can do it.
