Beta Testing

Beta testing is the phase of software development where a product is released to a limited audience outside the company for real-world exposure and feedback.

This tag covers the purpose and process of conducting beta testing to ensure product quality.

Key elements include user feedback, bug identification, and performance assessment. Beta testing helps developers identify issues, gather user insights, and make necessary improvements before the final release.
