Describe more fully "incapable of testing".
What I mean is that most end users can demo a program, play around
for a bit, and generally satisfy themselves that "it works" for
their favorite tasks. They might accidentally stumble upon a
problem. But they won't perform rigorous, systematic testing such
as navigating to each and every option on a menu. So if you have a
feature that's rarely used, or if it doesn't elicit interest or
curiosity because of its menu location, name, or description, it
won't be tested. In this scenario, you need a very large cohort of
testers with very diverse interests (ways of using the program).
Allow me to say, that using SeaMonkey the way you intend to use the
final product is especially useful, even in our beta's.
If you report a problem you do see, in the way you do use the
product, it usually helps. Just because you don't touch menu item
alpha-omega, or use chatzilla, or whatever, doesn't mean your
feedback is not valuable. ...
Agreed, it's valuable. But it's incomplete, just as your testing was
incomplete until someone using a different-language version tried it.
Good example.
