Hello,
I am presenting an active role that I have implemented within a community in the past which has worked quite successfully if managed properly and assessed on an active basis. The role, "Quality Assurance" will be a list of dedicated members whom meet specific requirements and or standards to which would be deemed acceptable in reference to testing, providing feedback and communicating with and or on behlf of the community in relevance to existing content and new content that would not yet be public within the server (similar to what a beta tester sustains)
Purpose of Quality Assurance
- Efficiently test new updates prior to public release
- Provide extensive/qualitative feedback to new content
- Monitor and provide statistics to already existing content (ways to improve and or increase community interest in what can be labelled "dead content".
- Ensure all updates have been thoroughly tested, qualified members whom understand game mechanics (purpose and how certain things are supposed to work)
- Communicate with the community to discuss existing/new content in an effort to filter qualitative feedback and produce a plan to tackle existing issue.
Standards of Quality Assurance Applicants
- Mature
- Active
- Interested in moving Alora above and beyond and producing higher standards
- Interested in finding ways to improve Alora overall
- Capable of providing extensive/qualitative feedback that would be used to improve and or solidify content prior or post release
- Knowledgeable of OSRS game mechanics
- Understanding of how to collect and filter data to efficiently provide feedback on existing content with low approval rates by the community in an effort to enchance overall content including new content.
Why consider implementing Quality Assurance role?
Quality Assurance would work as a group to focus on isolating content that is currently not as active and or functioning as intended. What I mean by this is looking at minigames and or content that are not actively used and finding concrete ways on improving the quality of said selected contant and overall activity/approval rate by the community. Most importantly, the role focuses on testing and providing feedback on new content prior to release. Members would ensure that the content is;
- Functioning
- BUG-FREE
- Viable in being a relevant and or necessary update that produces positive results/feedback (any cons that development may oversee with specific new content)
Users would need to be semi-actively monitored to insure activity is up-to-par. Group would be managed by selected staff (Global/Admin+) and have active consideration by development in relevance to sharing feedback and or reports.
