CrimsonRake 5 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I don't ussually hang around gaming forums too much as they are ussually a volatile place full of needy self entitled pea brains.... I use this as this mod has potential for a close knit mature community, but there are still the numerous threads clogging up the board complaining about the "state" of the game and "omg its buggy as hell" or "omg wheres the end game"... SO for people thinking of posting one such thread and maybe reading this....I implore you to read on..From good ol'Wikipediahttp://en.wikipedia....lpha_test#Alpha [edit]AlphaThe alpha phase of the release life cycle is the first phase to begin software testing (alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, used as the number 1). In this phase, developers generally test the software using white box techniques. Additional validation is then performed using black box or gray box techniques, by another testing team. Moving to black box testing inside the organization is known as alpha release.[2]Alpha software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss. The exception to this is when the alpha is available publicly (such as a pre-order bonus), in which developers normally push for stability so that their testers can test properly. External availability of alpha software is uncommon in proprietary software. However, open source software, in particular, often have publicly available alpha versions, often distributed as the raw source code of the software. The alpha phase usually ends with a feature freeze, indicating that no more features will be added to the software. At this time, the software is said to be feature complete.Cheers Edited July 20, 2012 by CrimsonRake 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
