| | Beta Test |
 | | The beta testers will need to check the technical accuracy of the software, and will need to use it with their own computer setups, data and workflows to make sure that the software will perform as desired in their own environments. | | | Beta tests enable the software to be tested in customer environments, giving users the opportunity to exercise the software, find errors, and correct them before a product is released. | | | For beta test, the software is delivered to customers' sites, along with instructions on what features to exercise in the software. |

| | Development stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A beta version or beta release represents the first version of the software that has passed system testing and regression testing. | | | In February 2005, ZDNet published an article about the recent phenomenon of a beta version often staying for years and being used as if it were in production-level [1]. | | | In contrast to alpha and beta versions, the pre-alpha is usually not "feature complete". |

| | Adobe Labs - Project: Lightroom |
| | However, the general public understands beta to mean “unfinished software that is not yet ready to be shipped,” so we’ve decided to call this a beta. | | | The technical term, “beta” software, generally means that the software is feature complete, but not yet fully tested. | | | However, additional beta versions with appropriate expiration dates will be released throughout the life of the project, so that photographers who have come to rely on the beta version will not have an interruption in their ability to use Lightroom. |

| | Ars Technica: Mac OS X Beta - Page 1 - (10/2000) |
| | Any and all features present in Public Beta are subject to change before release, but the window for such changes continues to shrink as APIs get locked down and software developers move their Mac OS X products closer to completion. | | | Charging for public beta software is increasingly common among the big software companies. | | | Some people contend that "beta" means "feature-complete, but still buggy." Others consider it simply "more stable than alpha." The only real common ground these days is that "beta" means "unfinished." Whether that means merely that bugs still exist or that entire features remain unimplemented has to be determined on a case-by-case basis. |

| | beta test - a Whatis.com definition - see also: beta |
| | In software development, a beta test is the second phase of software testing in which a sampling of the intended audience tries the product out. | | | (Beta is the second letter of the Greek alphabet.) Originally, the term alpha test meant the first phase of testing in a software development process. | | | Beta testing can be considered "pre-release testing." Beta test versions of software are now distributed to a wide audience on the Web partly to give the program a "real-world" test and partly to provide a preview of the next release. |
