Beta test plan

Before you begin

1. Use the exact email address that was approved for your invitation.
2. Go to syncstring.app/login and choose Personal or Business as instructed in your invitation.
3. Apple testers must choose Share My Email. A private relay address will not match the approved beta email.
4. Use accounts and provider data you are comfortable including in a beta test. Do not send passwords, authorization codes, contact details, or screenshots containing private data in a bug report.

Core test

1. Sign in with your approved Apple, Google, or Microsoft identity and confirm the correct portal opens.
2. Review the consent screen. Continue only if the requested access and data handling are clear.
3. Connect one supported provider: iCloud, Google, or Microsoft 365. Identity sign-in and provider connection are separate permissions.
4. Run or request a provider read. Confirm the connection reports completion and a sensible contact or calendar count.
5. Open Contact Groups and confirm the group totals and sample membership look reasonable.
6. Create a manual backup, wait for completion, download the SyncString copy where offered, and run a restore preview.
7. Review Availability and other portal settings without expecting those rules to write changes back to a provider.
8. Sign out, use the browser Back button, and confirm protected pages do not reopen. Sign in again and confirm your settings remain.

Business and admin pilot

1. Sign in through the business path with the assigned Microsoft account.
2. Confirm you can see only your assigned organization and role.
3. For an assigned admin, verify People, tenant, provisioning, policy, audit, and beta-access views. Billing administration is outside this beta.
4. For the designated SCIM pilot only, assign one test user or group in Entra and confirm the expected person appears. Do not enable broad automatic provisioning until the pilot result is reviewed.

Do not test yet

The beta does not safely write contact or calendar changes back to providers, restore a backup into a provider, execute duplicate merges, enforce calendar privacy through provider writes, or charge a payment method. Treat backup restore as a preview only.

Report a result

Email support@syncstring.app with the date and local time, device, browser, sign-in provider, page or feature, expected result, and actual result. Include whether the issue repeats. Remove names, email addresses, phone numbers, calendar titles, credentials, and tokens from screenshots.

A successful pass means sign-in, consent, one provider read, Contact Groups, backup creation, restore preview, sign-out, and return sign-in all worked without exposing another user or organization.
