What's in the applications that appear minutes after a road test becomes available?

Fred27
Fred27 13 days ago

Whenever a new roadtest is announced, it seems there's usually one entry that appears almost immediately. Surely you can't even have read about the product in that time, never mind thought about how you might road test it and written a reasonable proposal.

I sometimes wonder exactly what's in that application. Is it just a "Pick me! I'll do it." shot in the dark? Maybe someone has seen one of the "Would you be interested in road testing..." polls and has fully researched the product and written a proposal just in case. Maybe it's a test application to make sure the process works. Unless the E14 staff have any insights they can share, it may forever remain a mystery.

    I think it contains "test" text in all fields and is posted by mysterious RoadTester rscasny for testing that enrollment form is created correctly.

    That's a test application by our staff. We test to make sure the database that collect the application information is connected and works properly. The test application is eliminated in the final total…

    I think you misunderstood my question. I was wondering why someone always seems to apply for a road test just after it's been announced. It seems this is just the E14 staff checking that the road test application process is working as it should.

    Thanks baldengineer.

    I have actually deleted my one reply, and had written already 2 rt, pls see here and here.

    Fred27 asked something else and I thought he confused on RT, so I went on explaining RT but misaz, cstanton and rscasny understood and replied. I again replied on application but what he asked, they had already replied.

    Think application as applying to be a roadtester, not application as in a piece of software that provides a function.
