<big>'''NOTE:''' Tester Program is currently unavailable, therefore we are not accepting applications at this time.</big>
We occasionally solicit for volunteers to help as testers via the [https://forums.amahi.org forums] for some applications. This is only a temporary work around until the Tester program is back online.

At the moment people want to join it to test one app they like. Mostly. Then the app has quirks, or does not quite work at 100% (it's under testing after all!), and this puts more support load on the team.
This means this program is really not contributing as much we'd like and does not pull it's own weight, so to speak.</div> === Re-invigorate and re-energize program ===
Some ideas:
* Running "app of the week" sprints for apps and all the testers testing it until it works, then we move on to the next app (maybe we vote on apps that go next)
* Providing some sort of incentive, like credits for testing (exchangeable for something TBD), or credits for bugs ...
* Divide the team in groups, and to every group you can give a task. The group that finish first gets points: 1 lead "tester", 5 -10 tester for group..
* or ... what can we do that is creative, fun for everyone and productive? </div>
= Becoming a Tester =
Testing helps the application packagers improve the applications that get released. This is very important as the applications grow. Check out the latest apps at:
<nowiki>http://www.amahi.org/apps</nowiki>
We will make announcements about the latest apps added to the app gallery soon.
The only requirement is that you actively participate in the testing, you rate the apps (very important) and send feedback and report bugs at:
Thanks go to rampage and the community in the IRC channel for helping organize the apps and contributing to their testing so far, encouraging the implementation of this program! Please review the [[Testing]] page on what to test for with beta releases.
