Getting started as a tester

Getting started as a tester

FreeMind is a fairly large project with a very small development team. We need all the extra testing resources we can get, so if you want to help out, this is one of the best places to start.

1. Let us know that you want to help! Visit the Open Discussion Forum and tell us.
2. Download the latest beta release of the software here.
3. Test! Do everything you can think of to break the application, or just use it the way you plan on using it, and let us know what fails.
4. When there's a bug, tell us; to learn how, see reporting bugs.
5. You'll find things that you want the software to do that it doesn't do. Those aren't necessarily bugs. You can ask for new features, here.
6. If you are interested in helping with more advanced testing, by writing test scripts, please let us know in the Open Discussion Forum and someone will contact you about it.
7. Reap the rewards by having better software to work with.
