About the Beta Testing

Beta testing is a crucial phase in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) where a nearly complete software product or feature is released to a select group of external users (beta testers) in a real-world environment before its official public launch. The primary purpose is to identify bugs, usability issues, performance bottlenecks, and compatibility problems that may have been missed during internal (alpha) testing. It provides invaluable feedback from the target audience, allowing developers to refine the product, ensure it meets user expectations, and enhance its overall quality and stability before general availability (GA). Beta testing can range from small, invite-only groups (closed beta) to wider public participation (open beta).
