Itā€™s like points for testing? When u select testers it shows on the side like 0 karma or 15 karma. (I think Iā€™m new too, I didnā€™t go through the tutorial properlyā€‹:sweat_smile:)

Testers earn karma points when they complete a test so a quality tester will have more points.

Karma are the points someone get when they complete a test, so it can be used to know how many tests the applicant has completed. 1 karma = 1 test finished.

The main thing for a tester call is to give the due date, so people know how much time they have. And any other requirements you may have.

You can also ask them to make a journal. The journals will appear on your pattern page as reviews, so if someone wants to buy your pattern, they see pictures of what others have been able to make with the pattern and their notes on it.

Sadly, some testers sometimes ghost the creator (not give any news), so I advise you to select a bit more people than you need for your test, as you might not have all of them done (but most of them). For example if you need 5 testers, itā€™s more secure to pick 7 or 8. To choose people, you can check their ā€œmakesā€ on their profile, to see the tests they have completed before (their journals).

Once you have accepted the testers you need, you can go on your pattern page, click on ā€œmanage testingā€, and on ā€œcreate a group chatā€. This will create a conversation with you and all the testers, so you can talk about the pattern. You can then remind them the due date, the requirements, and tell them to give you their feedback on this private chat (with the problems they encountered in the pattern). Itā€™s good that you have a look here and there in the chat to answer their questions.

You are free to edit your pattern to correct the mistakes until it is published. Once it is published, you can still edit it, but you have to unpublish it at first. To unpublish it has no consequences on the favorites and people who bought it will still have it in their library.

I hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:

There are also guidelines on the site to help you with any question you have.
