Beta testing is the process of taking software which is nearing its final release, and giving it to a larger group of users to test. While the testing done internally is
intense, beta testing exposes the software to a much wider range of users and environments as a larger number of people are using it simultaneously.
Beta testing requires using the software regularly and reporting every problem, quirk, bug, crash and anomaly. Please bear in mind that there is no
such thing as bug free software. Every application on the market today has some bugs (some more than others), but thanks to beta testers like yourselves, they are kept to
a minimum.
There are no requirements for beta testing (with the exception of the software requirements above), but it should be noted that beta
testing is not for the inexperienced. Generally, this beta test has experienced users in mind, although anyone is free to join in. If you are uncomfortable
with beta testing or feel that you would like to wait for the final versions, there is no obligation to download and try any of our Beta programs until the final version
is available!
