# C09 — Skills in Conducting Beta Testing

The Hamilton and Alexandra College · Year 12 · 2026

Beta testing puts your software in front of **real potential users** and turns what they do into evidence-backed recommendations. C9 runs as a cycle: **plan** it, rehearse it in the simulation, **conduct** it and keep the raw evidence, present that evidence, **analyse** it into findings, and **recommend** modifications you defend live.

## How C9 runs

| Indicator | Checkpoint | Validation |
|-----------|-----------|------------|
| **C9-1** Beta Testing Plan | Draft plan (feedback loop) | Beta Testing Simulation 🔒📱⏰ |
| **C9-2** Conducting Beta Testing | — | Raw data pack + Raw Data Presentation 🔒📱⏰ |
| **C9-3** Beta Testing Results | Draft Results & Analysis — §2 (feedback loop) | via C9-4's viva |
| **C9-4** Recommended Modifications | Portfolio — §3 + mockups + traceability map (feedback loop) | Beta Recommendations Viva voce 🔒📱⏰ |

Recordings (audio + video) and signed consent forms live on your **school OneDrive**; your GitHub repo keeps instruments, exports, the deviation note and the pack index. The full specifications are the two assessment packages in your `S-C09` folder.
