The code for TouchXPRT 2014 is pretty far along, and we plan to move into concentrated testing in the next week or so.
A lot of work has gone into the next version of TouchXPRT and it shows. We’re making changes to the content, including larger, higher resolution photos. The revised tests are not only more demanding than the current versions, but they also introduce new types of work. For example, the export to MP3 test now mixes several music tracks before exporting the result and the photo tests include merging the photos.
The tests are also more visual than before. You’ll see the photo merge, the music mixing, and so on. We’ve really tried to make the tests tell a story, and we think you’ll recognize the way you use your device when you see them.
We’re also fixing some issues on the UI side. TouchXPRT will include a proper results browser, and have an in-UI way to submit your results. Also, the Run all button, which is on the app bar, will be visible on the main screen.
I’ll have more to say over the coming weeks. We hope to have the community preview ready to go in December. You will definitely want to look at this one!
