It is common for large software companies put their employees to test their new products in order to detect bugs in the system and flaws in the interaction interface with users. Although Microsoft has implemented with great success, the Insider program so that users around the world could test the Windows 10 during the development process, it is no wonder that the company’s own employees also did. But now we have some curious details about this period of internal testing, disclosed by the company.

The new desktop OS from Redmond was used within the company to test how the operating system working in real time. The company had its own inner rings to Windows 10, and received the test builds before they were even sent to the quick ring to Insiders. Interestingly, it was a lot of people:.

Now, Microsoft intends to be more aggressive from 2016. As reported earlier this month, the company plans to send more compilations for members of the ring fast, which means faster updates and more features will come to users. However, this also means that the builds will not be tested extensively among its employees before being sent to the Insiders, because Microsoft will give those users the same compilations that employees receive.
