Operating system was set up by Wytze according to the current live web db machine. Source code comes from an repository, which holds a copy of the source code taken from the tarball. It is intended to continuously import every new tarball into the repository to enable developers to work more conveniently. The whole process of development, testing and release is WIP and will be posted shortly.

Testserver Mgmt System - Menu System

Top Right

• Mail - View and manage your emails rcvd for your email address in the test system

• Manage Account - switch to the Manage your Account View

Left Sidebar (Manage Account)

• Automated Assurance - here you can set regular Assurances over your account (0-35 pts each)

  • for more than 35 points, the assurances are splitted into multiple assurances to reach the points level you've set. i.e. Set 100 points, you will receive 3 assurances: 2 x 35 pts + 1 x 30 pts

• Administrative Increase - you can add i.e. 150 pts in one step with the Administrative Increase function. This Assurance will display as a single Administrative Increase assurance. This relates to the former known Super-Assurer program. This can be done also manualy with the Board flag set.

• Assurer Challenge - If this flag is not set, you cannot Assure someone

• Set Flags - Set various flags to reach the level for testing. i.e. Tests for a Support Engineer patch, needs the Admin flag to be set, so you can access the menues for a Support Engineer
