Hi folks, I would like to ask what folks feel they should be paid for beta testing a software package and filling out a report. I think a good test would take a knowedgable person several hours. That is if they were familiar with what they were doing. It would probably be a requirement to have some knowedge of software construction. Ability with Borland Delphi would be advantageous. Ability in nothing is also an advantage. Should I break it down into smaller jobs and put them on mylot tasks?

I think you should definitely be compensated in some way. Often times though I think with those beta testing programs they just let you keep the product as your reward. I really think it would be good if you would be satisfied with that. If they didnt let you keep the product I think should defintely be compensated for your time.

Hi snowy22315, I fully agree. The software I have made has been around for ages and is already online. I really do need someone to go over its operations and appearance overall, and look for any bugs, typo errors, erroneous statements, general appearance. I was thinking dollars per report not cents. Because it would take a while.
