One part of the Association is the AAA Evaluation scheme. This requires registration with us and a small annual fee of œ12. This is more than made up for by the increased interest in the software. Software is sent to three individual evaluators who rate the program out of 50, test for bugs and offer constructive criticism.

The œ12 registration fee covers up to 3 submissions. Subsequent submissions require additional fees of œ4 per submission

Software which passes certain grade boundaries would recieve various rewards which would effectively promote the product.

Other things offered by AAA are support for new authors, a way of putting different people in contact ie. artists, programmers and musicians, and possible discounts on some software.

The overall aim of AAA is to increase the quality of software available to users.
