Testing
Page 2 Stage is a very stable and solid program. This has come about because the program was developed and tested from the start to be dependable.

Well Designed
Testing alone can never deliver a solid product. All it can do is continuously uncover additional bugs if the program is not well designed. Page 2 Stage was designed using the latest object-oriented methodologies to create a strong architecture for the program.

Unit Tested
As each part of the program was created, both unit and system tests were also written to thoroughly test both that part of the program and it's operation in the entire system. These tests were run not just when that part was added, but also when each new part was added.

System Tested
System-wide tests were developed to try and break the program. These tests exercise the entire program, operating each part in every combination that we have envisioned users using the system.

Beta Tested
Finally, Page 2 Stage was in beta test for over 6 months being used daily by numerous working screenwriters. The beta test uncovered bugs from usage patterns that we had not envisioned and therefore did not have tests for. The usage that found bugs in the beta test were added to the test suites.

Standing behind our work
We have an open offer to give a copy of Page 2 Stage for $1.00 to anyone who can find a bug in the program. To date, a total of 3 bugs have been found by outside users. And all three required very unusual steps to create.

No Bugs!
While no program can ever be bug-free, we take great pride in the fact that Page 2 Stage is rock-solid. Of course, the lead developer for Page 2 Stage wrote the book on bug-free code. Click here to see.
