Beta (Beta Testing)

Beta testing is a phase in the software development process where a nearly finished product is released to a select group of users outside the company. These users, called beta testers, evaluate the software in real-world conditions, helping developers identify bugs, usability issues, or improvements that weren't apparent earlier. The goal is to gather feedback to refine and stabilize the product before its official launch. This stage is critical for ensuring the software is reliable, user-friendly, and meets the needs of its target audience.
