QA testing is testing out new features on the site before we launch them for the public. It involves making sure all the features of a new software release work as expected and that none of the old features have been broken. You do not need to be a developer to do QA testing
I want to help, what needs testing?
If you arenāt a developer the new site will seem the same as the old one (with some minor aesthetic changes). For testing, we need to make sure everything still works properly, so anything you would do normally on resonate, test that you can still do it on the test site
The only thing that wonāt work is actually playing music (please ignore that when you test)
Some suggested steps if you want to help us test: All testing will be done on the development website
Try using the Login/Logout flow and various tasks associated with your profile (You will need to create a new user for the development site)
Please test everything in the user profile dropdown menu (e.g. update your account, faq, etc.)
Please test buying credits ā Fake credit card info you should use below:
Put in fake info for the name, address, etc
Dummy card numbers you can use
4242 4242 4242 4242
4000 0027 6000 3184.
Try using the all the header nav locations
Try using all the footer nav options
Play freely with the dev site and make sure it works like the production one
The more eyes we have on the development website the more likely we are to catch bugs so we appreciate anyone who can dedicate some time to this task
Reporting Bugs Found
I have created a bug template below that you can use.
I saw this URL earlier but couldnāt figure out what it was. Is https://id.resonate.ninja/ just an auto-deployment of latest from GitHub - resonatecoop/stream: Monorepo for Resonate Coop player (along with the back-ends)? Or is it something else? The name is a bit cryptic (what is āidā symbolizing here? and is the ninja TLD just used for obscurity?)
I guess, on the note of URLs, the main URL is resonate.is but the streaming site is steam.resonate.coop. Is the coop one legacy? Or new? Makes it slightly harder (imo) for new users to remember things (I suppose everyone just googles these days tho).
(btw, the Github QA Project link leads to 404 for me)
Hi @fgblomqvist Iām not sure if id.resonate.ninja is auto or manually deployed, my gut says itās manual. It should be pointing at dev versions of the BEs. Not sure about why the url was chosen but
re: urls - The ultimate goal is to pare it down the urls, for now though, as long we can navigate between the site/player/forum via links between them itāll have to do.
Being able to see the github project was an access issue, Iāve since updated. Let me know if you can see it now.
I think we really need to have some info on that first page that 1) tells people what Resonate is and why they should be using it (as opposed to some other service), and 2) centers the Community Forum as well.
I left notes in my Google Doc around how I feel we could succinctly address the fundamentals of what Resonate is on the main page. I feel we could incorporate some of this beneath those Player and Dashboard blocks at the top.
Maybe itās two more similar blocks, with one labeled āAboutā (shitty suggestion) and another one labeled āCommunity Forumā? But I think it would be cool to bake the āAboutā beneath all of that on the main page in a way thatās short and sweet.
@morsifire hereās an area you could help out if we canāt get your uploader account working. This task would uniquely benefit from your game testing experience! This testing is essential to migrating off our outdated Wordpress system and onto our new infrastructure. Once weāre migrated, Resonate will be much better place for users and future dev collaboration.
#qa-project-3 can show you what folks have already caught and pointed out if youāre interested in lending a hand.
Hmm, so I started testing in earnest but quickly arrived at a message saying I had maxed out my posts for the day. Iām guessing you donāt want to be deluged with new postsā¦but I was ready to do a lot more testing/posting today
Thrilled that this platform is getting some attention.
I agree, first and foremost, with the need to āsimplify now, explain laterā (and I mean this about the signup pages/process). Just feels like too much stuff getting thrown at new users ATM. Iām a first-timer here and itās the first thing I noticed.
