Testing

Ok - So I'm amending the decision rendered after out last meeting -

The notion that we can conduct the Guerilla test (distributed testing over a month or more) for FREE is flawed I believe.

This involves "harassing people" 20x as opposed to doing it once.

I want to reverse our decision to testing the ONE SHOT TEST first.


Logs

1. We determine the Time and Date of testing (3 hour window for the test)

2. We take over the Mudd Computer Lab (Ian and Bin are tasked with securing our LZ in this case - use any and all means necessary).

3. Preferably we preinstall Tremulous on 41+ machines (40+1 master machine to run our software/server, and any backups). To do so requires either permission from someone (depending how we obtain the lab... this could be possible with a Prof sponsor of some kind), or we forcibly penetrate security. My XP alpha-numeric-bols password access record is 48 seconds (world record is 10s, and that's ridiculous), but it'd be preferable not to do this for several reasons, including the fact that the labs have cctvc coverage.

4. As many people as possible are acquired. Having more is fine - if they show up and we don't like them, we can tell them to get lost - better yet, we pick the ones we trust to stay the entire time. They must be able to stay the entire time, all cell phones off, no communication.

5. They play the entire test array of games after a bit of an intro primer to the game.

6. Data collected - we're done.


ALL OF THIS NEEDS TO BE RUN THROUGH ON SITE WITH SOFTWARE COMPLETED BEFORE THE TEST DAY IS EXECUTED. ALL PERSONNEL ARE NOW REASSIGNED TO TEST DUTY.

RAJESH - REPLY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF YOUR ATTENDANCE ON TEST DAY.
