Beta

Definitions

1. A pre-release stage where software is more complete than alpha but still being tested by selected users or the public before full release. In casual tech slang, calling something 'beta' can also imply that it still feels unfinished or unstable.

   In plain English: A test version of software that is more mature than an alpha but not fully final.

   Example: "The beta gave us enough real-user feedback to rethink onboarding before general launch."
