COG Shop prides itself in offering quality products and services. Because of our belief in community involvement we test all of our products prior to release with a group of community members. These members make up a diverse group, exhibiting a variety of experience levels and play styles. This diversity allows us to ensure that we release and sell a reliable product that can be used by all community members, whether they be a beginner or an experienced veteran. The testing process allows us to identify weaknesses in and refine our design.

What does it mean to participate in a test group?
Participating in a test group consists of two phases. The first phase is simply testing the product, which involves using the product in a game environment to see how well it works. During this phase testers are looking for potential problems and pushing the limits of the product to expose any weaknesses. The second phase is the reporting phase. During this time testers communicate with us to resolve any issues with the product.
What happens with the product you send me?
The products that we send to you are on loan from COG Shop. Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have the budget to give away our prototypes. We ask for the products to be sent back following testing so that we can make any necessary changes to these existing units. This helps to reduce our operating costs, savings we can then pass onto the consumer.
How long is each testing cycle?
Each testing cycle is 2-4 weeks long. During the development of a product several cycles occur, with each cycle testing new designs and parts.
If you have any questions that were not answered above let us know at focus@cogshopairsoft.com.
