- !BETA TESTERS WANTED!
-
- ABOUT SVS:
-
- Shenandoah Valley Software is made up of several individuals doing
- professional programming both in the shareware and commercial markets. In
- addition, we do freelance programming for local businesses as well as
- consulting and training.
-
-
- WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:
-
- As a program is being developed we need from time to time have comments on
- what we are programming. The software that you may be beta testing could be
- either commercial, shareware or contract.
-
- Basically, this is what will happen. When a program is started that we feel we
- may need the assistance of beta testers, you will be notified by mail of the
- possibility. In addition, you will receive a brief explaination of what the
- program will do and what market it will be released in. If you are interested
- in being a beta tester for the package, simply sign the form that you will
- receive with the letter and mail it back to us. From then on, whenever we need
- input we will send you everything you need to evaluate the package. In some
- cases this may only be a questionnaire. It should be noted that your services
- may not actually be needed for several months after notification.
-
-
- WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT:
-
- 1) You can use us as a reference on job application or resumes. Since you will
- be testing professional programs, this should certainly look good.
-
- 2) In our final documentation, you will receive due credit to any and/or all
- input you may have made during the debugging and testing process.
-
- 3) If the package is either commercial or shareware, you will receive a free
- copy of the final package complete with printed documentation, registration
- and anything else that may accompany it.
-
- 4) Finally, as a SVS beta tester, you will receive a 15% discount on any
- product or service that SVS may offer.
-
-
- WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU:
-
- Once you sign the acceptance form, it is expected that you fill out and return
- all documentation sent to you regarding the beta package you are testing.
- Failure to do so may cause you to be dropped as a beta tester for that package
- or even completely. As a minimum you will loose the advantage of items 2 and 3
- listed above.
-
- When ever you receive a beta package from us it will contain as a minimum a
- description of what has taken place since the last package and a questionnaire
- to be filled out. In most cases it will also contain a diskette (your choice
- of 5.25" or 3.5") with a copy of the program to date as well as printed
- documentation.
-
- Once you have returned the acceptance form, you may input opinions at any time
- without us contacting you first. This may be done by mail or by message on the
- Mayor's Mansion BBS. Exception: whenever in receipt of a beta package, the
- questionnaire must be mailed. At all other times, the BBS may be used.
-
-
-
-
- HOW DO YOU BECOME A BETA TESTER?
-
- Fill out this page and mail it to SVS. You will be notified by mail shortly if
- you are accepted. Mail to SVS, P.O. Box 1456, Winchester, Va., 22601
