Overview
Delta Testing is a way for community members to launch projects when testing hardware and software, reporting bugs, and requesting new features. This article covers how to create a Delta Test, add incentive management, close Delta Tests, and send feedback to your team.
Add a New Delta Test
- Click the +New Delta Test button.
- Assign a team to the Delta Test. Your delta test is available to all moderators of the community by default. If you'd like to make a change, please just specify the team in the drop-down menu.
Note: Assignments are important because tickets submitted during the test are directed to the team assigned here. Once you assign a team to a delta test, you won’t be able to change it.
- Click Start Creating Delta Test.
- Add the following information:
- Delta Test Title—This is the title of your Delta Test. This can be the application you're testing, the particular feature name, or software.
- Delta Test Description—Describe what your community will provide feedback on. You can give specific instructions on how participants can test your specific feature or you can describe your application.
- Alias—A short name for your own benefit.
- Delta Test Photos—This will be the photo featured in your community. Select a file to upload.
-
Add to Topic—You can assign your Delta Test to any of your predefined topics.
- Call to Action—This button displays below the call to action message and is what users click to create a submission.
-
Select ticket types available for the test—Select one from the list below or multiple or type your own:
-
- Issue—Select this if you want community members to be able to submit issue tickets. Issue tickets are any problems that arise out of the process of using your application.
- Bug—Select this if you want community members to be able to submit bugs. Bugs are errors produced when there is an incorrect or unexpected result. This is generally tied to a code base issue.
-
Feature—Select this if you want community members to be able to submit features. Features are new suggestions for your product.
Once a member submits a ticket type, it cannot be changed or removed from the project.
