Filen is Enhancing Its Beta Testing Program!
As mentioned in our last status update, we’re looking for new beta testers for our upcoming product launches. The goal is to enable us to test our products in real-world scenarios with diverse use cases before they reach the general public. While we conduct extensive internal testing and our existing beta testing group does a great job helping us identify bugs, we’d like to increase the rate at which we discover issues before release.
To achieve this, it’s important for us to understand which products, devices, and operating systems our testers use. This ensures we don’t, for example, accidentally end up with 10 testers for our Windows client but only one for our macOS client.
To build a diverse testing group and to make the data manageable for us, we’ve created an application form. This form asks the questions necessary to make our beta phases as effective as possible in the future. Rest assured, we’re not asking for private or overly personal information—only the technical details relevant to the above categorization.
If you’re interested in testing products before their official release and reporting bugs directly to us, feel free to fill out the online form. The only personal information we need is your email address or Discord username. Communication will take place via Discord as it has in the past, so having an account there would be helpful.
Why Become a Beta Tester?
- Early Access: Beta testers will get early access to new updates and products. Typically, every major release goes through a beta phase first.
- Free Testing Space: While actively participating in the program, you’ll receive dedicated storage space to use for testing purposes.
- Additional Perks: Based on your performance and contributions to the program, outstanding testers may be granted further benefits as a token of our appreciation.
We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who applies and helps us improve Filen for all users. Thank you in advance for your support!
