Anyone Beta Testing SU8 or 7.?
-
Hi,
just wondering if there's members here lucky enough to have info or experience on unreleased versions of SU?
Would like to know what Google plan on implenting on future releases? I know there's a wishlist thread going but wanted see if anyone had any hands on with newer versions.

Haha...
Beta testers sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and are not supposed to talk about anything (not even about the fact that they areBeta testers). You are really unlikely to pull out any info here - especially in public.
I can tell you however that there are lots of Beta testers on this forum - in fact, as I am thinking about it, most (if not all?) of them are also members here.
-
Pretty much all software beta testers have to sign NDAs - preventing them from saying anything about what they test. At least software that's not open source. The companies want to control them self when and what info is released.
Overtaken by Gaieus again.... swoooosh!

Thanks for the info guys.
Shame those involved can't reveal anything. But it's understandable. How does someone become eligible for Beta Testing? Must you have the current Pro version as I never upgraded my SU6 Pro just use SU7 Free.
Can we expect an upgrade this year? Or can I not ask?

I'm pretty sure beta testers don't even know that, but upgrades are always wonderful!

Hmmm, my first response said something about saved to draft but I can't find the draft. Anyway....
As an active beta tester, technical editor, and co-author for various software programs, There is a saying mentioned many times which apply here:
"Those who know can't tell. Those who tell don't know".
Speaking of beta testing SU, I'd love to be included on the list. So, I'm asking, no I'm pretty much trying to suck up to someone who might have that say.

I know beta testers who do not have any kind of Pro version.

I am a Beta Tester.
In fact I can tell this because I am lying, which is fun, because the real betatesters can't say they are betatesters

Think about it logically: the release cycle for SU versions since google took over has been approximately a releases every 2 years and its been just over a year since 7 was released (i think.) Then bearing in mind that in general beta versions of software dont come out until pretty late in the development cycle, its going to be fairly unlikely that beta versions of new SU versions are available to anyone other than developers (and even these would just be working builds, i.e. with lots of missing functionality.)
-
I am not a beta tester. So lets do this by elimination, and all that are left must be testers:-)

I'm a omega tester. I always test the stuff after it has been out for 3 or 4 years.
