Internet testing model• This is an optional activity• Using gazelle

– You decide which profiles/actors you want to test– You specify your configurations for connecting via the internet– You identify a person in your organization as a primary contact

for internet testing– You find compatible test partner(s)

• Contact your test partner & arrange for testing at a time of your choosing

• Run tests that you will execute at connectathon (or, do some other test)

• No Connectathon Manager will examine these results

How do I participate?

• Register in the “Internet Testing Session” in gazelle; select profiles/actors

• Pay close attention to who you identify as the “owner” of your internet test system

• “Registration” remains open until the connectathon

• How to….

How do I contact my partner to arrange for testing?

• The email address of the ‘owner’ of the test system will be visible to your test partners
