Topic 5: ‘user testing and community feedback’

What methods can you make use of for testing your code and hear feedback on your contribution?

How do you communicate with your community and audience while developing work in progress or sharing the final outcome?)

Coding Six: Computational Communities and Professional Platforms Brief

As Wurm Online (WO) is played on by hundreds a day, some of the community may be interested in a development channel of Deed Planned 2 (DP). This application is relied upon for a majority of users, and feedback on development can be see here.

A method of generating user feedback from a non-coding community in WO can be to use the community spaces to release a development version of DP. These spaces could be the forums and an development channel on discord/internet relay client (methods of sending messages to one another, used by a mixture of the community).

In addition, these posts could also include user accessible debugging (logs, screenshots), which can be provided to the developers in the case of an error or bug. These errors could not only be minor, but also causing corrupt to a users many hours adding objects to the map.

DP2 currently supplies Alpha (development) version of the application, and users can respond to issues on the online forum. Below is the development channel which is listed on the GitHub repository.
