All about beta testing
At Vidrunner, Beta testing is where a select group of people are given access to our new service. Throughout the testing period, participants use Vidrunner as they normally would, then report any problems and opinions they might have.

Why does Vidrunner conduct Beta tests?
Most companies routinely conduct tests using customers to test new or enhanced products or services. Regardless of what is being tested, a Beta program has three main objectives:
- To verify the design and usability of new or enhanced features with real world users before the product is released .
- To find any bugs not previously identified by internal Quality Assurance .
- To ensure technical support operations will be prepared to support the product upon its release.
Who are Beta Testers?
Beta Testers are just regular people from all walks of life, who enjoy testing new services and giving feedback.
What are the benefits of being a Beta tester?
Beta testing affords a unique opportunity to contribute to the product's design and features. Testers frequently tell us that the main reason they test is because they enjoy the challenge of hunting for and uncovering bugs. Unlike any other interaction you might have with Vidrunner, testing allows you to communicate directly with the people who design and build the products you like--through the feedback you submit. In addition to identifying bugs, beta tester's suggestions often provide the inspiration for new features and products. You may have an opportunity to earn rewards.
What will be expected of me as a Beta Tester?
Beta testing does entail a commitment of time and effort on your part, and we expect that you will:
- Remain available to test for the duration of the testing period.
- Maintain Internet access and provide us with your current email address and other contact information.
- Read all testing instructions presented to you via email.
- Use the product or service being tested as soon as you receive access to it.
- Regularly report your honest, thoughtful feedback throughout the testing period.
What happens after I signup for the Beta testing program?
You will have access to the Beta Center where you can keep your information up-to-date and get information.
When will the product that I will be testing release to market?
Sorry, we are not able to reveal this information to testers or the general public until we make an official announcement of the software release date.
