Chapter 106 Exposed Problems (Updated)
For participating in the internal test of a mobile game that is not even a semi-finished product, the people in the 10th class should have their own opinions.

While playing a semi-finished game, Jia Ju said, "I didn't expect that the company that came to visit Mr. Wen would have an internal game to try first. It's interesting."

A few people beside him echoed: "Indeed, if I hadn't come to visit today, I might not be able to play this internal game when."

"It is also a relatively novel experience, mainly because the simplicity of this game gives us an alternative experience."

They are all extroverted students who mainly like to join in the fun and play soy sauce.

Some people are also lamenting: "It feels like Wen always gives us a special option to visit. This mobile game should be regarded as an engineering model. Now we see what the finished product project looks like in the initial development stage, and we can almost see the official introduction to the market. process that needs to go through.”

"I also have this feeling. The current Little Orange Book has a web version and an App end. It was just such an empty shelf at first, and it can only be built up a little bit."

"Looking at this process alone, I can feel what Wen Liang said, 'Entrepreneurship is not something that people do'."

"Anyway, those unrealistic fantasies I had before were directly extinguished. If you see the leopard in the pipe, you will know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

Liang Yameng, as the "intimate elder sister" of the class, took up the conversation from the sidelines: "It is better to see it than to hear it. It is true that no one can easily succeed, but Mr. Wen's experience can indeed be used as a good reference. At least now we I probably know the journey of Internet entrepreneurship.”

Wen Liang occasionally echoed a few words.

He doesn't mind the students in the class getting to know Bolang better.

Although Wen Liang did not make a special arrangement, it was just a coincidence, but through this simple example, students can understand how many steps an online project needs to go through before it is launched, which is not bad.

Now everyone is trying to play the initial version of "Three Kingdoms Cards", eating snacks and chatting at the same time, which is also great.

For the students, it is a combination of actual visit and personal participation.

For Bolang: there are a group of tool people who test the initial version of the mobile game for free.

It is indeed a win-win situation.

Moreover, compared with professional test engineers, everyone is completely real player testing, which can bring more effective data.

Test engineers will more or less carry out testing work according to a certain logic, and it is likely that they have unintentionally avoided the possibility of triggering certain bugs actively;
In contrast to a real user, you never know which area he will click to trigger any bizarre bug.

Anyway, these internal test phones have the debugging switch turned on, and there are unlimited data collection plug-ins.

All game operations will be logged, so that any specific issues that are triggered can be traced.

……

The internal game trial in the form of a tea party lasted for nearly an hour.

Wen Liang accompanied him all the way.

Of course he will not be stingy with this little time.

After the last classmate also put down his phone, Wen Liang put down the teacup in his hand, got up and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."

He also said: "It is rare for our class to have such an opportunity to get together. Lao Liang and the class leader should organize more tea parties like this."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed: "I agree with this! After going to college, there are very few group activities!"

Liang Yameng looked at the monitor: "I have no objection, let's see the monitor."

The squad leader laughed: "Of course I have no objection, but I think Wen Liang is the key. You have the strength to provide a suitable place."

Hearing this, Wen Liang pointed at Chen Jiaxin: "You can just go to Mr. Chen directly, he will be responsible for solving the problem, no matter whether it is inside or outside the school."

Chen Jiaxin nodded with a smile.

The squad leader patted his chest: "The lead thing is on us."

"Ok, Ok."

"..."

While chatting and laughing, Wen Liang did not forget to recruit people: "Anyone who wants to come to work part-time? Welcome, Bolang is now in its infancy, and there is a shortage of people everywhere."

Hearing this, Liang Yameng answered with a smile: "I want to ask, do you think I still have a chance?"

"I don't think so!" Someone immediately intercepted, "Sister Yameng, give us a chance!"

"That's right, give us all a chance!"

"I really want to record this scene and post an article right away. The well-known Internet celebrity 'Ya Qi' actually competed with her classmates for a part-time job!"

Liang Yameng was also happy: "..."

"..."

There was a lot of laughter, and some people expressed their desire to come to Bolang for a part-time job.

Bolang's management of part-time jobs is very lax, even more lax than that of subcontracted programmers. Those groups who use their spare time to help develop outer-level programs also have a limited development time period.

In the end, someone also raised a question: "Mr. Wen, is there no game trial questionnaire?"

"No, the company's internal test phones are all equipped with data collection plug-ins." Tang Pu replied from the side.

Wen Liang also mentioned: "This game will go through several rounds of invited internal testing before it can be released. Some of them may need to collect feedback. It may be necessary to ask everyone for help."

"Of course it's fine."

"a piece of cake."

"..."

In the evening, Wen Liang took the lead and invited the students to have a light meal.

It actually created the history of the grade 10 sizing class so far, and it was the first time that all members had a dinner together.

The atmosphere during the meeting was naturally very lively.

Well, the girls are Liang Yameng and a few others, most of them are boys, how can you not brag when you have a beer~
…………

…………

This very small-scale internal test, which was completely unplanned, has significantly helped the development work.

The full real operations of dozens of real users are very valuable first-hand data.

It also touched on some loopholes and imperfect modules in the initial version.

After sorting out the relevant operation logs, Sun Baoyin was a little excited, and found Wen Liang: "Old Wen, you have been of great help!"

"Not to mention that the company does not have so many testers to provide completely independent multi-sample data, but to say that everyone's usage is completely real, and they have given a very good data."

"I was thinking, should I ask Aze and the others to find their classmates to try."

Seeing that Sun Baoyin was so excited, Wen Liang couldn't help laughing: "It's not a problem. The first round of the online beta version can be arranged for a fixed-point internal test and distributed to our alumni, which is more controllable."

"Okay, okay, I'll discuss it with Aze and the others, and we'll arrange it now." Sun Baoyin smiled happily, "Anyway, the main players in the mobile game market are young people."

Wen Liang didn't say much.

This is indeed the case.

……

After this very small-scale internal test, the development of "Three Kingdoms Cards" has gone much smoother.

In addition, Huagong has started school, and Bolang has released a new round of part-time outsourcing development recruitment through various channels early.

Originally, a small part of the more than 300 part-time developers last year did not participate in this year. I am a little nervous to catch up with the heavy task of mobile game development.

Thanks to Wen Liang's group appearance at the school on the first day of school, the part-time outsourcing development team expanded to more than 400 people this time.

Greatly relieved the internal development pressure of Bolang.

Therefore, Wen Liang assigned the preparatory tasks for the official launch.

Game filing, game version number application, etc. need to be done in advance.

This all requires going through the business process, and it is not easy to determine which day is which day.

With the legal department, Wen Liang doesn't need to worry too much about these legal-related procedures, and won't be as troublesome as applying for an ICP certificate before.

In addition, Bolang's other affairs did not stop.

Xiaochengshu is still the main business, and Li Ze is often too busy to touch the ground.

He wants to push Xiaochengshu to reach 3 million users by March.

At a time when the popularity of related networks is gradually dissipating, and at the same time it is not appropriate to arouse large-scale public attention, the increase in users of Xiaochengshu will naturally begin to slow down. This goal is also a bit difficult.

Business affairs are in order.

The internal general administrative and functional affairs are also in order.

Lixia is a good helper. After Wen Liang suggested something, she also took the initiative to integrate into the atmosphere of Bolang and handled many things in an orderly manner.

Greatly lightened Wen Liang's burden.

Wen Liang can also hand over some non-core plans at work to her to draft.

……

In this way, it will be mid-to-late February in a blink of an eye.

Saturday the 18th.

Led by Sun Baoyin, the open closed beta of the "Three Kingdoms Cards" mobile game, which has not yet been finalized, has officially started.

Different from the previous very small-scale internal test that could only be carried out in Bolang LAN, this time the game server is officially opened to the outside world, as long as there is an Internet connection, you can play.

In order to catch up with the progress, this fixed-point internal test is to summarize the data in units of hours, and the research and development will carry out analysis and adjustment.

Test distribution begins at [-]:[-] am.

In the afternoon, Sun Baoyin hurried into the general manager's office.

Without even sitting down first, Sun Baoyin said bluntly: "Old Wen, this fixed-point closed beta has exposed a serious problem. According to the current model, the development of the mobile game business will be much slower than expected, and it will even drag down Xiaocheng. normal development of the book."

Seeing that the 'veteran cadre' Sun Baoyin was in such a hurry, Wen Liang put down what he was doing, got up and poured Sun Baoyin a glass of water, and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, tell me what happened first."

After taking the water glass, Sun Baoyin also heaved a sigh of relief, and his impatience dissipated.

Afterwards, Sun Baoyin sat down and took a sip of water, tidied up a bit before saying, "It's an administrative matter."

"This round of fixed-point internal testing has access to art resources. It is normal that there will be many bugs, but these bugs also exposed our major flaws in project engineering."

"For example, according to our preliminary plan, the requirement is to officially release the 'Three Kingdoms Card' on March 3st. With the current progress, it is almost impossible, at least until mid-March."

"At first, I also thought it was a superficial problem of development transformation and adaptation, such as we are not familiar with game planning, mobile game development process, etc., but it is actually not that simple."

"..."

Sun Baoyin said a lot in one go.

Wen Liang also understood the core factor that made Sun Baoyin so anxious to get angry.
