    Join us in #openqa

    February 3nd, 2012
    The SWGEmu Development Division



    The Quality Assurance team would like to invite Nova testers to join us on our IRC network (irc.swgemu.com) in #openqa to chat with us and fellow testers.

    We want to be more transparent to the testing process and get more people involved. While in-game messages and galaxy broadcasts work for quick testing we are at a point where we need dedicated player testers to team up and head out bug hunting. Even if you'd like to just watch the testing process at work or are new to Nova and have questions you're welcome join in.

    Changes to Quality Assurance are coming down the line. This is the first step in making a smooth transition to changes in the planning process.
