My RoadTest Audit: Review Completion and Eligibility

rscasny
rscasny over 5 years ago

If you have been part of the roadtest group, you will probably have heard that I conduct audits of the roadtest reviews. I have to go through the roadtests and see who has or hasn't complete their reviews. This information goes to our sponsors, who pay for the products and the administration of the program.

 

Some of the reviews have been for test equipment, so I'm not thrilled about this. There are plenty of other applicants who would love to be selected to roadtest products and are happy to fulfill their obligations to write a review.

 

As of today, A number of roadtesters have not completed their reviews by the deadline. For some of them it has been months after the deadline. (Uncompleted reviews before the deadline are not included because they are still 'in revew.')

 

To maintain your eligibility in the roadtest program, you must complete your reviews. If you are having problems, leave a comment and other members may help you. At the very least, you need to message me and tell me about your difficulties. I will get you some help.

 

Sincerely,

Randall Scasny

RoadTest Program Manager

    Andrew, Some roadtesters will email me about when they post a review. It's nice but not necessary. I look at the reviews daily. Why? I have my bosses asking me about the reviews. I have our account managers…

    Hi. I remember you contacting me about the review and I believe some problems you were having. I also see you did post the review. You are a roadtester in good standing according to my records and are…

    I talked to the sponsor the other day. He was very happy with the reviews thus far posted. I'm still waiting on 2 more reviews to be posted. That's the issue right now. Randall

    I can only surmise that this was perhaps one high-value RoadTest which failed the audit: Cellular Network Analyser, which seems quite unfortunate. It does reflect poorly on the community and may affect sponsor relations - an issue that was previously raised and discussed.

     

    But overall, on a sampling of the more recent RoadTests that I looked at, it seems that most of them are at least completed with all reviewers returning a review, even if a little late. I wonder whether the reminder e-mails have any effect?

    Can you help me understand your comment?

     

    I have watched the Cellular Network Analyser RoadTest closely. I was one of the candidates during the first round of testing. I missed my original objectives but did a make-up. A second RT was done on the product. Other than this review Cellular Network Analyser - Review I thought the reviews were acceptable.

     

    Can you share your insight that gave you reason to select this RT for commentary?

    I thought it was pretty obvious to be self explanatory colporteur? The hints from Randall - "Some of the reviews have been for test equipment," so I looked for some recent test equipment.

     

    The RoadTest I linked (Cellular Network Analyser ) -> has listed a total of six RoadTesters, but only four reviews showing underneath. The two members that were not in the review list (whom I shall not directly name) both appear to have no content attached to their profiles, thus do not seem to have submitted anything for the RoadTest, with the published due date of 22nd November 2019, matching Randall's other hint of "some of them, it has been months after the deadline."

     

    Your particular RoadTest was the earlier one (Siretta Cellular Signal Strength Data Logger) - and all two awardees (including yourself) submitted a report, thus meeting the "audit" definition of completion.

    I wasn't aware of the truant reviews and I never extrapolated from Randall's test equipment comment that it was the Cellular Network Analyser RT. Thanks for filling in the details.
