Holistic Testing Program
How does it work?
Esri's Holistic Testing team schedules testing sessions based on changes in the functional areas of the GIS software. The Holistic Testing team will coordinate with a functional development team or an industry manager to coordinate a week of software testing.
When does it occur?
Test sessions occur on a weekly basis throughout the year and are scheduled around software development cycles. Sessions are designed to validate and ensure that the final functionality will meet the needs of our users and is free of critical technical issues.
Who is involved?
Esri's customers, staff, partners, and international distributors can all apply for the Holistic Testing Program. Our mission is to test Esri software products from a user-workflow point of view.
What are the benefits?
With participation in holistic testing sessions, you will help ensure that the next release of Esri software meets the needs and workflows of the current GIS professional. Additionally, you will interact with software development teams on future software releases.
