Testing

Access to QA Builds

If you wish to help with testing, contact me at mdodge@eztechhelp.com. Those willing to be testers will get access to private QA builds that include extra features and development APIs.

QA Build Notes

See below for additional notes and information specific to QA builds

• Spotify, YouTube and Twitch features all work without needing to set up your own APIs. You still have to provide your own credentials for those services of course.
• An in-app Feedback/Bug submission form system is included for QA builds, so you can easily submit logs or troubleshooting information directly from the app. Supports attaching files such as screenshots
• Testers will have access to a private Trello board used for development and collaboration which also includes access to the latest test builds as they are compiled/uploaded
• The default logging verbosity is high for development reasons, which can cause the log files to grow in size quickly in some cases, so heads up.
  • The log files are located at %appdata%\roaming\Samson\Logs
  • Basic computer info such as name, make, model, CPU, RAM, Windows version..etc are included in the log file
  • Log file may also contain details of media you provide, names of playlists, songs..etc.
  • If DEV mode is enabled (is not by default), additional data may include OAuth tokens and other API credential data, but never passwords
  • If you are concerned about what info you share with the logs, recommend reviewing the log files and scrubbing anything before sharing for support/testing, or just don't submit them. No logs are shared automatically
