The idea for the testers and you are right is to help so that the tech people can do their job and fix the bugs (whatever might be encountered). They acknowledged that and it is part of the process. What a privilege to be apart of something like this. To actually be apart of the process. That is very rare and this tech is new cutting edge technology. How can one not love that!
The way the company was talking, it is not going to take long to get everything moving forward. They want to use it themselves. Much incentive to get things moving along quickly.
