What is Closed Beta Eligibility? What does closed beta mean

Closed beta is a closed beta test, and it is also a small-scale test, and now online games must go through internal testing before they can be tested publicly.

The internal test is usually sent by the testing company to a limited number of users, so that a certain number of users can join the ranks of using the software, and through the use of the test, feedback to the testing company on the use of the software, as well as existing problems, in order to promote the improvement of the software.

First of all, let's talk about the closed beta:

The internal test is relative to the public beta,In fact, the internal test is a comprehensive test of the technical stage of the game manufacturer,Game ** business and related planners on the game's running performance,The cultural background of the game,As well as the problems of the game system,The steps are very detailed,Specific to the costumes of the characters in the game,Actions,Language,For example,The language of the scholars in the game should be polite and polite,It must not be mixed with the language components of the rivers and lakes, etc.。 The data of the closed beta will not be retained after the game is running.

The game has just come out, specifying how many people will participate and who will grab whom.

Open Beta Game:It refers to an online game that has been significantly reduced after the internal beta test of the game, allowing players to register an account, retaining data, and gradually entering the stage of game charging operation.

Closed beta is internal testingIt refers to a small-scale test of online games or software, and online games must go through internal testing before they can be tested publicly. Online game beta testing is usually in the early stage of game development, and the game company sends a limited number of activation codes or accounts to players, and the players test and feedback the usage and existing problems to the game company to promote the further improvement of the game.

Testing phase

In the closed beta phase, the game company invites some players to test the game's running performance, game design, game balance, game bugs, and server load to ensure that the game can run smoothly after the open beta.

After the end of the beta, it will enter the public beta, that is, the public test, and the internal test data is usually not retained when it enters the public beta, but now more and more game companies are taking public beta reward measures or directly conducting undeleted internal testing in order to reward internal beta players.

The difference between the closed beta and the open beta is only in the range.

In fact, the internal test is a comprehensive test of the technical stage of the game's performance, the game's cultural background, and the game's system problems by game makers, game vendors, and related planners.

The steps are very detailed, specific to the costumes, actions, and language of the characters in the game, for example, the language of the scholars in the game should be polite and polite, and it must not be mixed with language elements of rivers and lakes, etc.

Closed beta accounts are generally limited. Generally, the game company distributes the first trial to game magazines and other ** to provide the initial promotion of the game, or gives the account to the loyal supporters of the game, and generally these game fans also have the obligation to report game problems in time.

The open beta is to open the registration function to all players, mainly to test the operation of each service when a large number of players register for the game.

The closed beta test is a closed test, the number of participants is small, the account is rare, and there are generally more bugs, and the data is generally not retained. The public beta is generally a few months after the internal beta, the game's bugs have been significantly reduced after the internal test, players are allowed to register an account, the data is retained, and the public beta enters the paid operation after a few months (there are also games like Bubble Hall that have been in public beta) There is no charge for internal testing and public testing.

Therefore, the internal test is not that you can't apply, but that it's difficult to apply.

The open beta is an open test of the game to players, and there is no need to apply for a test qualification, as long as you register a game account, you can play.

There are two types of closed beta. One is the internal testing of the game company. One is player internal testing. And what we usually call closed beta is player internal testing.

The process of game testing is mainly divided into five processes: company internal testing, closed testing, technical testing, stress testing, and player internal testing.

Among them, the company's internal testing is the company's internal programmers who test it themselves. The closed test, technical test, stress test, and player internal test are the test accounts issued by the game company, and players participate in the test, and the number of closed tests and technical tests is relatively small, and the testers are generally required to fill in the test results related to ** and report game bugs in the test process. The number of stress tests and player tests is higher.

The differences are as follows: 1. Quantity limit:

Closed beta: Internal testing. It is only open to a small number of people, and generally the online game is not yet perfect, and many people need to test it, so it is generally difficult to apply.

Open Beta: Public beta. It is the test after the closed beta, in fact, it is completely open to the majority of players, and there is no limit to the number of registrations.

2. Game data storage is different:

The data of the closed beta number is generally not retained, and there are also players who take care of the players who come to the closed beta to keep it, but there are very few. The beta data is retained.

3. The focus of the test is different

Internal testing refers to the comprehensive testing of the technical stage of the game system problems, and the steps are very detailed, specific to the costumes, actions, and language of the characters in the game, for example, the language of the scholars in the game should be polite and polite, and it must not be mixed with the language components of the rivers and lakes, etc.

The public beta mainly focuses on possible problems with the client, testing the performance of the server and finding bugs in the program.

Internal testing refers to the small-scale testing of online games or software, which is equivalent to the "alpha" in tool software. Online games, like software, have to go through closed beta before they can be tested publicly.

Closed beta games have a certain period of closed beta and then in the open beta, and many problems (bugs) that exist during the test period can be submitted to the official **bug submission area.

Collect players' opinions, suggestions and opinions on the game, remove bugs and block plug-ins, so that open beta players have a fair game environment. Find out what closed beta players think about some cash equipment (bought in RMB) and game equipment (bought with in-game currency), and add or remove some equipment as appropriate to make the open beta players entertained in a more comfortable environment!
