Bossland,

I want to request, if it possible, for us Developers to get better your service of performing "Tester Approval" stage for new products.

For now we are paying 40% fee of your service. But the service of approvals (time of approve) for new products becomes terrible cause of "Tester Approval" stage.

Nowadays each time we need to push new product for Store it takes more than 2 weeks already of just waiting for this stage.
For better understanding - it's just standing in queue, not any testing, when check for exactly testing takes like 5-30 min or so mostly.

The problem is, how Raphus explained it to us, that this stage is performing by he and Highvoltz. And they do not have time to checkout this stage, which is reasonable a lot.
As they are Main Core Devs and have many more important stuff to do, which require their technical skills and can't be done by other staff members.

Also it's real bad that such qualified professionals perform this stage, wasting their precious time, because it do not require any technical skills to perform it at all.
So any staff member without technical skills, but as just a user of Honorbuddy, can perform it.

In contrast, testing products by code ("Code approval stage") goes very smooth and fast - and this is our Great thanks for Raphus and Highvoltz.



The goal of "Tester Approval" stage for new products, as i know, was to perform better quality of products on Store, but for real it didn't change anything on Products quality for Store, opposite it increase time for new Product to come released very huge and unreasonable by today. Which is decrease quality of BuddyStore for users, since they have to wait a long time, checking support thread and Store each day again and again, waiting until the product finally becomes available for purchase.

Which is have straight effects on Sales for BuddyStore by decreasing it's potential income a lot.


So request is: To get other staff members (not core devs) to perform this stage, so approvals for this stage can be done as it was in 1-3 business days. Or remove it at all, as it became pointless and didn't fulfilled up to expectations.



We all will be appreciative if you can increase quality of this part of your service for us and users,
as it was before.
 
I can vote for this.

Already had quite a few new products in the past, "stuck" in testing phase for 3-6 days, even grind or very short questing profiles, which realistically take more less than an hour for comprehensive testing.


Another point:

While the criteria for Code Phase approvals is fairly understandable by the Com Devs, the one for Testing Phase approvals is still shrouded in mist for us. We are not aware what goals are "tested" for compliance to meet the approval mark.
 
I've asked you questions surrounding your product and your yet to answer it :-)

I cant get either version to run as I don't have the pre-req stuff and no where do you tell me what I need to have done :P

Also I'm trying to work my way threw it in order. Your reply is now holding others up.

Didn't got what you mean by that. All you have asked me by skype yesterday i answered.
The only i got last was: "I cant get either version to run as I don't have the pre-req stuff and no where do you tell me what I need to have done :P"


I would like to note, this post is for situation in whole and this problem, and not about concrete product.
As it's not one time situation, but constant problem, which have many developers who do push new products regularly. I particular have it via 4 last product's of mine.

Agreed
 
Im trying to catch up with the approvals then will do them frequently.
 
Question... Why would a response from a dev hold up other approvals?

Just dosnt make logical sence. If there is a issue with testing on one profile ask your question pin the test in a secondary que or move it down the list one and move on to next.

Don't know what system you guys use for que. But this is EASILY doable with any Kanab board or vs backlog. Shoooooo even I know that.
