JLPOWELL -> RE: Request for Additional Beta Testers (2/27/2013 1:53:23 AM)

I am interested in helping move this project to completion. And have time and a VERY flexible schedule.

1. Any previous experience testing software. My relevant background is; experience determining requirements and developing those into working products at a large corporation for government clients.

2. Your experience of cardboard and paper World in Flames (we strive for equal numbers of Newbies and Grognards on the team)

b. Recruit - Playing WiF occasionally (or played a lot a long time ago) Played a lot but its been nearly 20 years.


3. Your experience with CWIF (Australian Design Group's version of computerized World in Flames).
a. None


4. Your PC specification. (just the basics): I have access to several PC's but this laptop is my primary
a. CPU speed Intel i5 1.6 GHz
b. RAM 4GB
c. Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
d. Screen resolution for your monitor(s) usually use an 1920 x 1080 external monitor I can run multiple monitors

(if the laptop performance is inadequate I will have image rendering machine which should run anything (i7 3.4Ghz 16+GB and Graphics... within about a month.)

5. Whether you have: (a) access to multiple computers for testing play over the Internet and/or Can do this without any difficulty have several laptops and a moderate desktop and acquiring a high end system. (b) multiple email accounts for testing PBEM. Easily done

Looking forward to lending a hand.





rmdesantis -> RE: Request for Additional Beta Testers (2/27/2013 12:51:54 PM)

I have recently retired, so I have an extremely flexible schedule. In terms of your questions:

1. Any previous experience testing software.
Years ago I was a beta tester for some PC related PIMs. It's probably been 15 years at least, but I do understand what is involved.

2. Your experience of cardboard and paper World in Flames (we strive for equal numbers of Newbies and Grognards on the team)
Recruit - I used to play extensively, but not for the past 20 years. I moved away from friends and got totally involved in work.

3. Your experience with CWIF (Australian Design Group's version of computerized World in Flames).
a. None


4. Your PC specification. (just the basics):
I have several laptops - Win 8, 8 GB Ram, I7 processor. Win 7, 6 gb ram, i5 processor. The Win 7 machine has very high resolution (has a graphics card so its 1920 by 1080 I think). Win 8 laptop is 1366x768

5. Whether you have: (a) access to multiple computers for testing play over the Internet and/or (b) multiple email accounts for testing PBEM.
I do have access to multiple PCs and multiple email accounts.

DimiDesk -> RE: Request for Additional Beta Testers (3/3/2013 12:14:21 AM)

Hi Red Prince !

I'm happy to learn that this program come to the end...[:)]
So, I'm actually playing a session of this fabulous game under Vassal system against me (To learn the rules)... I post an AAR of this on the site leqg (Name of the post : World in flames - un AAR d'apprentissage / My username on this site is Bozocobol)

I'm very interesting to help your teams in the way of testing...

My answers are :
1. Any previous experience testing software.
I'm working as DBA Administrators. I was, some years ago, an analyst programmer with Cobol74, but too with Delphi... I maintain actually some applications writed in Delphi code...
So I never join a team test, but I spent time with my unit tests code written in Delphi or COBOL. I know the development cycle of a software in a business, and the place and the importance of testing ...

2. Your experience of cardboard and paper World in Flames (we strive for equal numbers of Newbies and Grognards on the team)
a. Newbie - Never played WiF (but it looks great)
b. Recruit - Playing WiF occasionally (or played a lot a long time ago)
c. Average - Currently playing WiF on a regular basis
d. Grognard - Rules guru
It's difficult to find some crazy players who have times and place to play this game... to learn this game... So, in this way, my only experience of this game is that i have read the rules many times...
I take th initiative to play a game with the Vassal system one month ago against me to learn the game... So, i am a Newbie becoming a recruit... And for this moment, I am an Average player...



3. Your experience with CWIF (Australian Design Group's version of computerized World in Flames).
a. None
b. Some
c. A lot
I bought this game... It is very useful for understanding the game... But it's more fun to play on Vassal ... I also faced a few bugs in CWif... So, answer c

4. Your PC specification. (just the basics):
a. CPU speed
b. RAM
c. Operating system
d. Screen resolution for your monitor(s)
CPU Speed : Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @3.16GHz 3.17GHz
RAM : 4 Go.
Operating System : Windows 7 64 bits
Screen resolution : 1920x1080

5. Whether you have: (a) access to multiple computers for testing play over the Internet and/or (b) multiple email accounts for testing PBEM.
Over the time, you can see that I could have 2 to 3 hours for 5 days in a week in the evening... I can certainly spend less time on my AAR in favor of MWiF[;)]

I have a desktop (describe above) and a laptop that I could use to test Internet play (I made some test with vassal in this way...)

About email accounts, I have actually 2 address, but it is not a problem to open some new accounts...

Anyway, good job for the rest (and if I can help you is better[8D]) and I look forward to the outcome!

Dimi.

Healalotman -> RE: Request for Additional Beta Testers (6/27/2013 8:47:36 AM)

I was also confirmed to be a tester by karlis, i think we got the same mail we where 3 person that got accepted.
The mail was send 2013-05-17. I hope you can look in to that too? if you havent got the time i understand with the massive work load you have.

Great Job and have a nice week.

Shannon V. OKeets -> RE: Request for Additional Beta Testers (6/28/2013 1:18:14 AM)

I had forgotten what the CWIF graphics looked like.

Here is a rough comparison screenshot for MWIF (zoom level 4 for the detailed map). I just grabbed a saved game that had some units on that part of the map.

Besides the obvious changes to the coastal hexes, hex terrain, and unit counters, there is also the inclusion of the sea area names and section boxes, with the Axis and Allies having separate ones for each section.

The status indicators around each unit are different too. MWIF omits them if the unit is in "good condition". Here the convoys at sea have a status indicator for being on Sentry Duty (i.e., they are not going to move).

Other changes are to the rail lines, the additional labels for 'flavor', and the global map depiction of the Commonwealth convoy pipelines. We also changed the Axis flag because Germany forbids the use of the swastika in publications.

Sorry, but I have asked Karlis to not recruit more beta testers at this time.

It takes about a month to get a new beta tester up-to-speed, given the processing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, setting up account access, downloading the game and other files, going through all the game material, learning the player interface mechanics, playing through a few turns and eventually being able to do some testing in areas that still need testing.

Each new beta tester also takes some of my time (and some of the time of the existing beta testers). I don't begrudge my time and effort, but I'm rather busy with debugging NetPlay and other scattered bugs at this point.



Guillerdemon -> RE: Request for Additional Beta Testers (6/28/2013 12:53:34 PM)

Hello Steve

Do not worry I understand you perfectly, something similar happens to us with the Beta of Battle for Gea.

Keep on the good work!
