Learn About Beta Testing
What is it?
Beta testing ("beta") is a phase of the product development process intended to increase product quality by introducing it to real customers in their real environments. As a result, beta testing offers product developers essential information which supplements the efforts of their QA lab by providing a dimension a lab environment cannot offer.
Who's it for?
Beta testing is a partnership between companies developing products and the customers who love them. Effective beta testing offers huge benefits to products of all types including software, hardware, consumer, enterprise, systems implementations, mobile, and web applications. Beta testing is a standard phase in most development processes, including agile.
Why do it?
For product developers, effective beta testing results in higher quality products which improve customer satisfaction, lead to better product reviews, increased sales, a more positive brand image, reduced support costs, and better product planning. For customers, beta testing offers the unique opportunity to help improve the products they love in an exclusive community of like-minded people.
