Xbox Alpha update teaches a lesson about creating early-adopting updates

Members of the Xbox Alfa Test group were surprised to learn that the latest alpha updates were slightly more destructive than the upcoming updates for anyone. Sometimes, if one of these updates is still in the absence of a new features where it is tested, but this is not the latest update. This really reset all Xbox to factory settings, in fact, wipe everything from the console.

The members of the Insider tested both series and series Xbox consoles and XBOX consoles and faced with a message that had a significant shortage.

This message was later shared by the internal test members on social media sites like Reddit, it confirmed that it was not an individual issue. There were adjustments as to install an old firmware device or simply trying to avoid this update completely, but not much can be done after the update is caught. Thankfully, Xbox saves a cloud back, most of the most, screenshots and videos to be lost, the capture of a large number of wasted videos to reload everything.

Moreover, it is a type of early access program for new updates. The majority of updates are good, but are tests for unstable updates to do not justify the work before they go to people who are not members. In this sense, even an update of a cart is successful, because it allows Microsoft to seal the problem areas.

However, the nightmare of each software engineer and programmers is something that awake them in the cold sweat: something has been pushed and there are disastrous effects? Unfortunately, it cannot really be confronted with any certainty. The program must finally be tested and prepared as a team, there will always be unexpected variables before they push the first group of testers.

An important lesson to know is how the audience is this dynamic. In this case, people fully realized that it was best to be part of this program. But for a wider audience? This would not fly completely. Armed with that information, you can put aside many pressures.

But if you are in Insider program, maybe wait for a little before you update your Xbox.
