The Ultimate Guide to Beta Testers: Everything You Need to Know

March 31, 2023

Beta testing is an essential part of the product development process that allows companies to identify and fix any issues with their products or services before releasing them to the general public. But beta tests aren’t possible without beta testers to provide real-world feedback for the developers to address. In this guide, we will explore what beta testers are, why they’re important, as well as how to find and manage them effectively.

How to Define Beta Testers

What is a beta tester?

Beta testers are individuals who test products or services before they’re released to the general public. They’re a select group of beta users who represent the target market for the product or service being tested.

The main purpose of beta testing is to identify any issues or bugs that need to be fixed before the product is released to the market. Beta testers provide feedback on the product or service being tested, which companies can use to improve the overall user experience and functionality of their product before it’s released.

Why are beta testers important?

Overall, beta testers provide valuable product feedback that can help companies catch catastrophic problems and improve their products before they’re released to the general public. Without beta testers, companies may release products that have major issues or bugs, leading to a negative user experience, lower sales, and potential damage to the company's reputation.

What do beta testers do?

Beta testers are responsible for testing real products in real environments over a period of time. They complete directed activities, designed by the product team, which helps them to identify issues that need to be fixed, ideas that should be addressed, and praise to deliver to the marketing team before the product is released to the market. Testers provide feedback directly to the company, typically through a beta testing platform or web form.

Why are beta testers a good thing for my product?

The benefits of having beta testers include:

  1. Higher-quality products resulting from tester-identified issues and ideas being addressed
  2. Increased brand reputation and customer loyalty when customers see your organization making efforts to improve your products
  3. Increased sales due to improved products and brand reputation
  4. Lower support costs because there are fewer issues with the product and the product’s ease of use

But these benefits are only realized when there are concerted efforts from the development teams to address tester-discovered issues and incorporate tester-sourced ideas prior to launch.

Do beta testers get paid?

Beta testers can be paid or unpaid, depending on the company and the specific beta testing program. Some companies offer rewards, such as early access to the product being tested or a discount on the final product, as a way to incentivize beta testers to participate in the program. Other companies may offer monetary rewards for participation in the beta testing program.

In most cases, beta testers are volunteers who are simply interested in testing the product or service and providing feedback. These individuals may not receive anything beyond the satisfaction of helping to improve a product they already use or plan to use frequently.

It's important to note that rewards for beta testers should not be the primary motivation for participation. Beta testers should be motivated by the opportunity to have a direct impact on the development of the product or service and to help improve the user experience for future customers.

How To Find Beta Testers

If you’re looking for beta testers, you’ll need to ensure you complete the following steps, which are covered in more detail below: 

  • Establish the tester requirements
  • Identify the channels you plan to use for finding your testers
  • Draft the messaging for your outreach
  • Plan your outreach strategy

How many beta testers do I need?

The number of beta testers needed for a product beta test can vary depending on several factors:

  • Type of product or service
  • Development state of the product or service
  • Intended audience (target market)
  • Test objectives

As a general rule, it's a good idea to have at least 50 to 100 beta testers for a small project, and up to several thousand for larger projects. This calculator can help you determine the perfect audience size for your beta test: Centercode Beta Test Size Calculator.

How to find the ideal beta tester

To identify the ideal beta tester, you should first define your target audience and then look for individuals who fit that profile. Start off by describing your target market using these three categories:

  • Demographics. Who are they? Where do they live? How many people are in their household? What's the breakdown of gender, age, and income for your target audience?
  • Psychographics. What do they look for in their products? How much time do they spend at home, in the office, or wherever they'll use your product? Are they tech-savvy and/or interested in new technology?
  • Technographics. What kind of phone or computer do they use? What other products do they own that will interact with yours? What kind of house do they live in, and will that impact how your product works?

This list will be the blueprint for identifying your ideal testers. Break it down into "must haves" and "nice-to-haves." 

Example: Building Out Tester Qualifications

Product: A dating app that connects pet lovers in big cities.

Must-haves:

  • Android smartphone or iPhone
  • Lives in an urban area
  • Owns at least one pet
  • Willing to meet with other pet owners
  • Enjoys outdoor walks

Nice-to-haves:

  • Owns two or more pets
  • Uses other dating apps

You can use tools like surveys and user personas to help you define your target audience in more detail.

How to get beta testers

Getting beta testers for your test is one of the most common challenges with beta testing. To find beta testers, there are several avenues that you can explore:

  1. Look for beta testers within your existing customer base. One of the best ways to find beta testers is to look within your existing customer base. These individuals are already familiar with your company and its products and are likely part of your target market, making them ideal candidates for beta testing.
  2. Use social outreach. Social media is a great way to reach a large audience and find potential beta testers. You can post about the beta test on your company's social media channels and ask followers to sign up to become a beta tester. Pair with your Marketing team if you don’t know where to start.
  3. Use relevant communities. There are usually a number of online communities related to your company’s industry that can help you find testers. These communities may allow you to post information about the beta test and allow interested individuals to apply to become a beta tester.
  4. Attend industry events. Industry events are a great place to network and find potential beta testers (especially for B2B products). Attend events related to your industry and talk to individuals who may be interested in becoming a beta tester.
  5. Build relationships with bloggers and influencers. Bloggers and influencers can be a great resource for finding beta testers. Reach out to individuals who have a large following in your industry and ask if they would be interested in becoming a beta tester.

When looking for beta testers, it's important to consider the demographics of your intended audience. You need to find beta testers who represent your target market as closely as possible to help ensure that the feedback you receive is relevant and useful.

After identifying potential beta testers, the next step is to invite them to join your test. You can use tools like email marketing and social media to reach out to potential beta testers and provide them with the necessary information. Here are five tips on how to invite testers to join your test:

  1. Send a personalized email. Reach out to potential beta testers via email and explain the details of the beta test. Make sure to personalize the email and highlight why they are a good fit for the test.
  2. Provide clear instructions. Make sure to provide clear instructions on how to apply to become a beta tester. This should include information on where to go to apply and what information they need to provide.
  3. Highlight the benefits. Make sure to highlight the benefits of becoming a tester, such as early access to the product or service and the opportunity to have a direct impact on the development of the product.
  4. Provide a deadline. Set a deadline for applications to become a beta tester. This will help create a sense of urgency and ensure that you have enough time to review applications and select the best candidates.
  5. Follow up. Once you’ve invited testers to join, make sure to follow up with the candidates who haven’t taken action to remind them about the test and to let them know you need to invite someone else if they don’t respond.

It's important to make the invitation process as easy and straightforward as possible. By providing clear instructions and highlighting the benefits of becoming a beta tester, you can increase the likelihood of receiving applications from qualified, enthusiastic candidates.

How can beta testers join my test?

One of the most effective ways to have beta testers join your test is to create a beta test landing page. This page should provide all the information that potential testers need to know about your product or service and the beta testing process. Here are some key elements to include in a beta test landing page:

  • Opportunity Name - Stick with vague, but interesting descriptors
  • Product Details - Brief description of the product
  • Test Details - Details about the test itself that testers need to know before signing up
  • Test Expectations - What’s expected of testers during the test
  • Basic Tester Requirements - Include the basic qualifiers or some of the core requirements
  • Link To Sign Up / Apply - A way for testers to indicate their interest

How To Manage Beta Testers

When managing beta testers, you should provide them with regular updates on the progress of the test and any changes to the product or service being tested. You can also use tools like surveys and feedback forms to gather feedback from beta testers.

What kind of feedback can I expect from beta testers?

When conducting a beta test, it's important to understand the types of feedback you can expect to receive from beta testers. Here are some common types of beta tester feedback you can expect:

Beta Tester Feedback Types

  • Issues - Represent quality, interoperability, and real-world performance problems (often bugs) that have negatively impacted a tester's experience with the product.
  • Ideas - Identify feature additions or improvements that testers believe would elevate their experience with your product, increasing user satisfaction and usability.
  • Praise - Represent what is working well, what's delightful, or what testers are satisfied with in a product or feature.

It's important to keep in mind that the beta tester feedback you receive may not always be positive. Beta testers are encouraged to provide honest and constructive feedback, even if it is critical of the product or service being tested. This feedback can be used to improve the product or service and ensure that it meets the needs of your target market.

How do I get beta tester feedback?

Getting feedback from beta testers is a crucial part of the beta testing process. It provides valuable insight into the user experience of the product being tested, and helps identify any issues or ideas that can be addressed before the product or service is released to the general public. To get the most out of beta testing, it's important to have a clear feedback collection process in place. 

Tester feedback is driven by the beta activities that you write for the features in the test. Beta activities can include direct testing of individual features, and can range from functional testing to user experience testing. As testers use the product or service, they may encounter issues or suggest ideas for improvement, or they may provide praise for features that work well.

Here are some tips on how to get feedback from testers:

  1. Use a feedback or beta test management tool. Your best, most organized approach is to find a feedback or beta test management tool. There are a number of these tools available that can help you collect feedback from beta testers in addition to the ability to present activities and other information to testers. These tools allow beta testers to submit feedback in a structured format, making it easier to organize and analyze the feedback. Centercode is a comprehensive solution for managing beta tests and it’s free to sign up.
  2. Tell testers what kind of feedback you need. Beta testers should know what they’re expected to do before joining your test. If you set the expectations for feedback submission and submission quality early on, those beta testers that apply or join your beta test are likely to be better primed to submit the feedback that you need to improve your product or service.
  3. Conduct surveys. Surveys can be an effective way to get feedback from beta testers. Use a survey tool to create a survey and ask beta testers to complete it. Be sure to keep the survey short and focused on the most important aspects of the product or service being tested. Also, keep an eye out for untracked feedback submitted via surveys.
  4. Hold feedback sessions or interviews. On beta tests with smaller audiences, consider holding feedback sessions with beta testers to discuss their feedback in person (or over the phone). This can be a great way to get more detailed feedback and to better understand the issues and concerns that beta testers may have.
  5. Provide a feedback email address. Provide a dedicated email address for beta testers to submit feedback. This makes it easy for beta testers to submit feedback and ensures that all feedback is in one place. Just remember that you’ll need to review and analyze the feedback once the test is over! (Managing feedback through email isn’t recommended if your test is larger than 10 - 15 testers.)

It's important to remember that getting feedback from beta testers is only the first step. Once you’ve collected feedback, it's vital to analyze it and use it to improve the product or service being tested. Be sure to communicate the changes or updates made to the product to beta testers to show that their feedback was valued and used to make improvements.

How do I keep beta testers engaged?

Keeping beta testers engaged throughout the entire duration of a beta test can be challenging, everyone’s lives get busy and sometimes people forget. But there are several specific strategies you can utilize to keep them motivated and involved:

  1. Provide regular updates. Keep beta testers informed of the progress of the beta test, including any updates or changes to the product or service being tested. This helps keep them engaged and shows that their feedback is valued.
  2. Set clear expectations. Set clear expectations for what beta testers are expected to do and when they’re expected to do it. This includes deadlines for completing feature activities, providing feedback, and any other requirements for participation in the beta test.
  3. Offer support. Make sure that beta testers have access to support throughout the duration of the beta test. This includes providing a dedicated email address or forum for beta testers to ask questions or report issues.
  4. Provide a community. Consider creating a community for beta testers to share feedback and engage with each other using something like Centercode. This can help foster a sense of community and keep beta testers engaged throughout the beta test.
  5. Show appreciation. Show appreciation for the time and effort that beta testers are putting into the beta test. This can be as simple as sending a thank you email or providing a public acknowledgement of their contributions.
  6. Provide incentives. Consider offering incentives to beta testers who complete the beta test, such as early access to the final product, discounts, or other rewards. This can help motivate beta testers to stay engaged and complete the beta test in addition to motivating testers to join future tests.

By making an effort in these areas, you can help keep beta tester motivation high throughout the test, leading to higher quality feedback and a better overall beta testing experience.

What motivates beta testers?

Centercode conducted research with our community of beta testers (Betabound), asking “What is your primary reason for participating in our beta program?”. The results showed that 43% of respondents participate in beta tests to “help improve products [they] use”. In addition, 21% of respondents said that they test as “a way to learn the new product features”, while 16% chose “early access to [company’s] products” as why they test. Just 5% of respondents indicated that they test to “earn incentives”. It’s clear that those seeking out beta tests to join are doing so out of a passion for the products they use in their everyday lives.

How to be a good beta tester

Being a good beta tester requires more than just using the product or service being tested – it requires a commitment to providing high-quality feedback that can help improve the product or service for all users. Here are some tips on how to be a good beta tester:

  1. Vary Your Efforts. Spend a little time every day doing something on every part of the product. Budget some time each day to submit feedback (issues, ideas, praise, etc.). Work through every feature and function you can. By doing a little bit every day you’ll test the product in its entirety, have great performance numbers, and have a lot of fun.
  2. Communicate Quickly and Consistently. Be communicative and responsive throughout the project. Remember that the people running the test are eager to hear what you have to say and what you’re experiencing. It’s incredibly important to monitor your issues, watch the test workspace for updates, and respond quickly to any inquiries the beta team might have for more information.
  3. Be Clear and Thorough. Make your communication clear and detailed. Your feedback needs to give the beta team a solid understanding of your issues, ideas, and opinions. If they don’t understand what you’re saying or don’t have enough data, they might have to come back to you again, which just takes up more of everyone’s time. They need to be able to understand your comments and act on them immediately. Screenshots and pictures often help.
  4. Keep It To Yourself. Many companies spend months designing and building their test product. They’re spending many thousands of dollars to prepare for its launch. If the beta test is private, it’s your responsibility and obligation to keep everything about the beta test absolutely secret. Don’t blog, don’t Tweet, don’t chat, don’t post anything anywhere about the beta test. Don’t even mention you’re involved in the project. Remember, these companies are trusting you with their new product. In return, you should show them respect by keeping everything you experience a secret.
  5. Be Flexible and Patient. Last, be flexible and understanding. Product development is a complicated process that involves many people and many tasks. Your role in this process is to share your perspective regarding the product. If the company discovers an important issue or needs to change the direction of the project, that could change the schedule. They might need to extend the test or cut it short to meet their new schedule. These changes are commonplace in beta, so please be willing to adapt to them.

By following these tips, you can be a good beta tester and provide valuable feedback that can help improve the product or service being tested.

Other Types of Testers

In addition to beta testers, there are other types of testers that are often utilized during product development. 

These include QA and alpha testers, who are usually more technically-inclined and test products or services in the early stages of development, as well as usability testers, who test the user interface and overall user experience of a product or service.

What is a QA tester?

QA testers are responsible for testing software products or services to ensure that they meet specific quality standards. This can include functional testing to ensure that the software (or product) works as intended, performance testing to ensure that it performs well under various conditions, and user experience testing to ensure that it’s intuitive and easy to use.

While beta testers are focused on providing feedback on pre-release products or services, QA testers are typically involved in testing throughout the development process, from the early stages of development through to release. They work closely with developers and other stakeholders to identify and fix issues, and to ensure that the software meets the specific quality standards set by the company.

In contrast to beta testers, who are real customers or users and volunteers, QA testers are typically paid professionals who have specific training and expertise in software testing. They may work in-house for a company or as independent contractors, and they may specialize in specific types of testing, such as automated testing or security testing.

What is an alpha tester?

Alpha testers test software products or services in the early stages of development, before they’re released to beta testers or the general public. Alpha testing is typically conducted by a small group of testers who are familiar with the product and can provide feedback on specific features or functionalities.

Alpha testing is typically focused on identifying any major issues or bugs with the software, and ensuring that the basic functionality is working as intended. This often includes testing individual features or the entire product or service, and uses various testing methods, such as manual testing or automated testing.

In contrast to beta testing, which typically involves a larger group of testers who provide feedback on the product or service as a whole, alpha testing is more focused on specific aspects of the software and is typically conducted in a more controlled environment. Alpha testers may be internal employees of the company developing the software, or they may be external testers who are contracted specifically for the alpha testing phase.

What is a usability tester?

Usability testers test software products to evaluate their ease of use and overall user experience. Usability testing is usually conducted by a small group of testers who represent the target market for the product or service being tested.

Usability testing can include various types of testing, such as user interface testing, navigation testing, and user experience testing. Testers may be asked to perform specific tasks using the software, or they may be asked to provide feedback on specific aspects of the user experience, such as the layout, design, or overall functionality of the software.

The feedback provided by usability testers is typically used to improve the user experience of the software and ensure that it meets the needs of the target market. Usability testing is often conducted in conjunction with other types of testing, such as alpha testing or beta testing, to ensure that the software is thoroughly tested and meets the specific needs of the end user.

Wrapping It Up

Beta testers play a crucial role in the success of a product or service. By providing valuable feedback on the user experience, identifying issues and suggesting improvements, beta testers help ensure that the final product meets the needs of the target market. Overall, the insights and feedback provided by beta testers, when acted upon, can lead to a successful launch, a well-received and well-reviewed product, higher customer satisfaction, and most importantly, increased sales.
