Call me a nerd, but I love trying and testing new software! I love being able to give feedback and help shape the new product. And, you will never hear me complain about getting an early look at the new software!

With that in mind, I need your help! Help us beta Camtasia Relay. We need 25 committed volunteers to start (we may open it up to more). We do have some special requirements for this beta test. We would need you to have a server at your site. The beta period will consist of conference calls in February and testing in March and April.

Requirements for the beta:
• Test the product for a minimum of 5 to 10 hours a week.
• Install the product within 48 hours of receiving it.
• Complete provided test cases within one (1) week after each beta release is installed.
• Promptly report on defects found during beta testing.
• Regress defects found with product refresh code.
• Participate in conference calls, as scheduled.
• Answer survey questions, as needed.
• Periodically report feedback to development on reliability, stability, and readiness of product for the marketplace.
• Provide feedback regarding product documentation and help systems.
• Participate in the TechSmith Beta Test Program under a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement.
• Provide the required hardware to adequately test the product in a test environment.

Benefits to the beta sites:
• Early access to product code.
• Involvement in development cycle, which includes the ability to influence the final code and submit enhancement requests prior to release.
• Free technical support throughout the duration of the beta test period.
• More stable code due to multiple individuals testing in many environments.
• One-on-one contact with the Development team, Product Management, Marketing, etc., through weekly conference calls.
• Relationship-building opportunities with other beta sites around the world.
• Improved documentation.

It will be painless, I promise. :-) Beta testing sound good to you? If so, please fill out this survey here. The Camtasia Relay Team will review your submission quickly and let you know if you have been accepted. Big thanks! We appreciate it!
