Test Run

The Test Run Beta is beginning to wind down. Feature development for 1.0 is almost complete - in fact the only feature actively being developed is support for account level permissions for anonymous users. This would allow each account to configure how they wish to handle anonymous access to their test plans and test cases - specifically to allow non-logged in users the ability to view test cases that others may wish to link to from bug reports and other systems and applications.

I find myself always saying this is the last feature... but I often get great feedback from users and testers that I cannot ignore. So please, don't hesitate to send me your ideas. It is never too late to get your ideas and feedback integrated into the product.

But just because there are only a few features left to implement for the first official release of Test Run, that does not mean there are only a few more features we need to test. In fact these final stages of the Beta will allow us to test an important component of the Test Run product and service - billing and payment systems.

In order to ensure that the entire Test Run experience is a good one, we will begin charging $10 for the downloadable version of Test Run and charging a one dollar per month subscription fee for users of Test Run Online. We appreciate any and all people willing to help us test this critical component of the Test Run product, and we want our testers to rest assured in knowing that they will be allowed to deduct all the Test Run fees they paid prior to the official release of the product from the cost of a commercial license or subscription. In this way the Test Run Beta is still "free."

Users evaluating the product can of course sign up for a Trial Account on Test Run Online which provides unlimitted access to a single user.

Again the Test Run team cannot thank those many users who have submitted help tickets and feature requests to us. I hope you are satisfied with how we chose to solve your many problems and use cases.
