Beta Testing

ACOS Blue Lion is to be released in Q4 2015/Q1 2016. Before the release, however, beta versions designed for testing will be published. Both closed and open access beta tests are expected to take place in autumn 2015.

Closed Beta Testing
At first, closed beta tests (CBT) will take place. The beta testers will be chosen from a small number of advanced ComputerCraft users and forum moderators. The testers will be required to give feedback and especially constructive criticism of the system so that bugs and flaws of the OS can be quickly fixed before release. Depending on the amount of bugs that will be found, up to 3 CBTs will be conducted, in various lengths.

Open Beta Testing
After the CBTs, open beta tests (OBTs) will be conducted in order to popularize the product before Blue Lion release and finalize bug fixing operations. OBTs will probably not last longer than two days, to keep the hype for the product high enough so that it will be still popular and new after release.
