| What
happens after I submit the Beta general
sign-up form? Once you fill out the
form, you will be entered in our database of
potential testers. If you are contacted
about a specific test for which you qualify,
you will need to fill out a more detailed
application and sign an Intuit Beta Tester
Non-Disclosure Agreement.
How are testers selected?
We make our selection based on a set of
criteria which may vary from test to test.
The criteria may include demographics,
computer skill and familiarity, computer
configuration. Intuit reserves the right to
deny any application. Occasionally, we defer
applicants to a later beta stage or to
another test.
If I am not selected, what happens to
my application?
Applicants not selected for this season
of testing will be deferred to the next
tests. There is a possibility that you are
better suited for other upcoming tests. We
may contact you later for an update of your
profile.
What feedback do I have to give?
You will be asked to answer several
questions related to the product usage. We
would like that you push the product to its
limits and give us your feedback, if any, on
areas for improvement, bugs in the programs,
as well as a testimonial of your experience
using the software.
What are "bugs"?
"Bug" is a general industry term for an
error or a poorly designed part of the
software.
What if I want to test, but don't want
to be REQUIRED to actively participate and
give feedback?
We now require that beta testers
participate actively in order to be
considered for any future tests. If you do
not offer regular feedback during the test,
you may be excluded from consideration for
future testing.
Why would I volunteer to beta test?
Most important, it's your chance to
contribute to the product's design and
features!
Further, as an active tester,
based on the criteria we specify, you may
have an opportunity to earn benefits and/or
rewards, and in some cases to purchase the
final version of the software you are
testing at a discount, or even receive it at
no charge (subject to the terms of each beta
test).
When will the product that I will be
testing release to market?
Sorry, we are not able to reveal this
information to testers and the public until
we make an official announcement of the
software release date.
What is rolling Beta?
| This means that during the specified Beta test period, we will periodically put updated Beta releases of extend version on our Web site. These updated versions will include any newly implemented fixes. Beta testers can request that their port be posted on the Web for download. The interval between these updated versions will depend on the number and nature of code changes. We estimate that the postings will be several weeks apart. |
