Beta (Release) Beginner's Guide
Beta is the testing phase after software has completed its main functions and before its official stable release, focusing on identifying issues and improving the product with feedback from real users.
What is the Beta phase
A Beta release comes after the alpha phase. At this point, the software's main functions can usually operate, but its performance, usability, and security still require further validation. The development team invites external testers to identify errors and provide feedback in near-real usage environments, then uses that input to fix issues and refine the product.
Closed testing and public testing
Closed (private) beta A Closed (private) beta is made available only to a smaller group of invitees, making it suitable for products targeting specific users or those temporarily unable to handle a large volume of traffic.Open (public) beta An Open (public) beta allows broader user participation, enabling the collection of more real-world feedback while also showcasing the product and building early awareness before its official release.
From Beta to stable release
Beta testing typically focuses more on usability, defects, and improvements to existing functions, while requests for entirely new functions are more common in the earlier alpha phase. When a version is close to its final form, it may be called a release candidate; if no major issues are found, it can become a stable release intended for everyday use. Blockchain projects may also first verify their code on a testnet before deploying it to mainnet.
