The purpose of the test is to investigate the user interface and work flow. There were few early bugs and Anneline, responsible for near all of the programming, must be congratulated, well done!

In-house testing continues as remaining functions are being completed, from there still the 'alpha' designation. Pending test results, LIMS 2.0 is scheduled to start a parallel run at sponsor Quantum Analytical Services mid September and a release candidate is targeted at the same period

If you want to participate in testing, please request details from Joris. A LIMS 2 on-line installation can be found at http://bika3.bikalabs.com/bika. These pages will be updated regularly and carry links to the user specification, issue trackers and mailing lists for technical and functional discussion
