As there has/will be a slight shift in focus of Test Server Activity I figured its about time someone starts documenting and updating this forum more often.

For the first update though, I wont get too specific, as the majority of this is historic and already in the public domain.

Lets start off with a list of currently Active Testers, who have run a Test Game Since 9/23/10

Test Server Game List : http://test.goallineblitz.com/game/game_list.pl

The majority of Testing for the last few months has been focussed on the major changes to the Sim or the AI, which have been released already.


Here is a full list of recent Testing Threads that have been concluded.

- Passing Game Changes. (Sim)
- DPC Changes. (Sim, User Interface)
- Blocking Changes. (Sim)
- User Owned AI. (Sim, User Interface, Website)
- My Games Feature. (Website)
- Replay Viewer Options (Website)
- New Offensive Plays. (Sim) Note: this thread is still active as all plays are constantly under review.
- Various website enhancements (Facebook, Voting, Trophy Shelf, etc)
- Casual/Basic AI updates (Sim User Interface)

Also there has of course been activity on Bugs that have been brought to the Test Server via the Bugs Forum, or have been identified during Testing the release of New Features.
Those which have been concluded are reported in the Changelog when the fix was uploaded. For now I will leave it at that, but in future I will be documenting the progress of all Bugs Testing here.



Other than that, there has been some activity around creating FAQs for New features, prior to release.



Changes to Test Server?

From the most recent Q&A session;

Question: When will we be leaving Beta?
Originally posted by Catch22

... it's getting closer. Once we have the preset AI's/playbooks added, there are only a few more projects we'll need to complete to get out of Beta.



Question : Whatever happened to all of the information that was going to be made to the public from the test server? The synopsis of discussions taking place on the test server forums? Recaps of testing that was being done? Discussions about tests that were needed? An up to date list of testers?

Originally posted by Catch22

Testers have only been testing new changes that we are rolling out (things like the new plays) and have not been testing things that warrant synopsis. All other testing has been done by myself and Bort and is usually working on things we don't necessarily want to disclose to users. To be honest, the test server is not used as much as it once was because we're mostly comfortable with the way the sim is progressing. We'll still keep the test server and testers around to assist us with identifying bugs and issues with new changes but that will be the extent of the testing we will do.


Testing of Major changes is going to happen less often, as GLB moves towards a more stable Sim.
This means that the majority of future testing will surround the following criteria;

- Review Test Server builds in line with recent changes and current player build strategies. Underway
- New Premade plays. (Sim)
- New Preset playbooks. (Sim, User Interace)
- New Preset AIs. (Sim User Interface)
- New Formations. (Sim, User Interface)
- Any further New Changes as they arise. (Sim, User Interface or Website)
- Bug Issues. (Sim, User Interface or Website)

Potentially.

If it does happen, it will be made public by an Announcement via Catch.
