Mod testing can be many different things; however, for the purposes of STEP, mod testing is the testing of mods for inclusion/exclusion in STEP:Core/Extended. This includes testing a mod's stability with other STEP mods, checking it against Elder Scroll lore to make sure the mod is lore-friendly and meets the STEP Mandates, testing the mod's function to make sure it's working as intended, comparing it to other mods of similar content to find the best solution, and much more. Mod Testers are the staff members whom this job falls to though all staff members usually help out. | ||

They are the front lines in mods getting added or dropped from STEP and similar to real soldiers, their job is often the hardest and most unglamorous one. Mod testing can be long and tedious at times, but it can be fun and joyful too. This is to say, mod testing is only for those that have a real dedication to it. As such, the turnover rate on Mod Testers tends to be rather high since Testers quickly become "worn out" when they don't realize what they've gotten themselves into. Before considering becoming a Mod Tester, read through this guide. It should give a fairly reasonable idea of what Mod Testers do. If you still want to be a tester after that, let us know! | ||
