Beta Testing, in computer science, the formal process of soliciting feedback on software that is still under development. In a beta test, software is sent to select potential customers and influential end users (known as beta sites), who test its functionality and determine whether any operational or utilization errors (bugs) still exist in the program. Beta testing is usually one of the last steps a software developer takes before releasing the product to market; however, if the beta sites indicate that the software has operational difficulties or an extraordinary number of bugs, it is common for the developer to conduct another beta test. A beta test usually includes a draft version of a product’s documentation, which is reviewed along with the software.
