Why You Need to Beta Test (1)
• Reduces risk via customer validation + increased quality
• Beta stresses products very differently than lab testing
• Customer input into A product is critical to its success and is
part of all quality systems (ISO 9001, Six Sigma, etc)
• Beta complements all other aspects of product development
8
![Page 9: Successful Beta Testing](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d53339bb61ebf5548b45ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why You Need to Beta Test (2)
• Beta allows a company to test post-launch infrastructure
• Beta can provide data that is relevant to past, present and
future products
• Beta offers a unique window of opportunity to meet and
further understand your target market first-hand

Types of Beta Tests (1)
• Traditional Betas - Pre-release product is distributed to the target
market; data is gathered about all aspects of the product and then
used for product improvement
• Marketing or Technical Beta - Pre-released or released product
is distributed to a user group with intentions of gathering data to
benefit a specific organization, often engineering or marketing
• Public Beta Tests - Pre-release product is openly distributed
online, data is gathered from anyone who responds and then used for
product improvement
13
![Page 14: Successful Beta Testing](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d53339bb61ebf5548b45ef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Types of Beta Tests (2)
• Focused Beta - Pre-released or released product is distributed to
the target market, data is gathered on a specific aspect of the product
and is rolled into the product
• Post-Release - Product is distributed to a targeted group of users,
data is gathered about all (or specific) aspects of the product and
then improvements are rolled into a future release
• Internal Beta - A test program in which employees of a company
are given the chance to use a product prior to release. Not
technically a beta test, but can be close with a large population.

The Beta Plan
The Beta Plan:
• Ensures the project parameters, goals, milestones, activities,
and participant demographics are well defined
• Outlines all internal resources (project members and teams)
involved, as well as their responsibilities
• Is the basis of the report which will summarize the results and
effectiveness of the beta project (more later)
22
![Page 23: Successful Beta Testing](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d53339bb61ebf5548b45ef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Writing a Beta Plan (1)
• Product Definition – Construct an outline of the product itself,
including information regarding it’s current state (alpha, beta, beta2,
etc), high-level modules, etc.
• Target Market Definition – Detail the types of individuals this
product will be sold to. This could include consumers, business IT
departments, soccer moms, previous customers, and everything in
between. Most products span multiple markets. Break down the
types of users you plan to recruit into pools. Include the tester
requirements (time, hardware, etc) in this definition.

Writing a Beta Plan (2)
• Test Parameters – Outline the basic parameters unique to the
project including number of beta testers and projected timeline.
• Test Goals (SUPER KEY)– List the unique goals of the project.
Items such as general quality improvement, interface acceptance,
product functionality in real-world environments, test support
infrastructure, collect customer suggestions and testimonials.
Include the areas (modules) of the product that will be tested.
24
![Page 25: Successful Beta Testing](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d53339bb61ebf5548b45ef/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Writing a Beta Plan (3)
• Incentives – Plan out the incentives that’ll be rewarded for
participation, as well as the participation levels which they will be
based on. (more later)
• Project Team Responsibilities – Define the responsibilities of
everyone involved in the project. Define how feedback will be
managed as it changes hands and progresses.
• Initial Activities – Plan out the initial activities which will be
performed throughout this beta (activities will likely change in
response to the project progression)

Why Do People Beta Test?
• Early Adopters
• Exclusivity
• Community / Networking
• Furthering Careers
• Participate in the Development Process
• Free Product
27
![Page 28: Successful Beta Testing](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d53339bb61ebf5548b45ef/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Friends and Employees
• Employees: Generally a bad choice for testers as they either
have too much insight into the product itself or are jaded by
their relationship with the company.
• Friends: Usually make bad testers due to the fact that they
believe their friendship negates their requirements to
participate to the same level as other testers.
28
![Page 29: Successful Beta Testing](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d53339bb61ebf5548b45ef/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Advertising for Testers (1)
• The internet opens the door to an endless supply of beta testers. It’s
important to manage this source effectively to collect the right ones.
• Find portals/networks which interest your target market (every
market has them). Ask an admin to help advertise for you.
• Clearly indicate the technical requirements for each tester. Wading
through unqualified candidates is a waste of everyone's time.
29
![Page 30: Successful Beta Testing](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d53339bb61ebf5548b45ef/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Advertising for Testers (2)
• Incentives deserve mention in a tester call, but be vague. You
want to bring testers based on excitement rather than reward.
• It is not necessary to advertise specific features of the product
(especially anything confidential). Focus on the product
category being tested – that’s enough.
• Be very clear and honest about the time requirements to
participate in the project.
30
![Page 31: Successful Beta Testing](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032514/55d53339bb61ebf5548b45ef/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tips for Effective Site Selection
• Always keep your target market in mind. The wrong market is
the easiest way to produce useless results.
• Look for responsive and communicative behaviors.
• Look for detail oriented applications.
• Recognize those who are excited by your product.
• Avoid those who refer to or question incentives immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions (1)
Q: How Many Testers Should I Use?
A: It varies - your tester pool should depend on the audience and
complexity of the product. Generally consumer products
should be tested with anywhere from 50-200 people, while
business products are tested with anywhere from 10-50. Many
variables can change these numbers. Keep in mind your own
available resources should drive tester pool as well.

Frequently Asked Questions (2)
Q: How Long Should I Test?
A: Beta Tests generally run anywhere from 4-8 weeks, often split
between multiple phases. With effective processes, betas can
run as little as 2 weeks. Complex products may require 6+
months (generally while gathering feedback on an evolving
product, such as in Agile development).

Frequently Asked Questions (3)
Q: How Much Time Should Testers Dedicate?
A: This depends highly on the complexity of the project and goals
of the project. Simpler products may only require 1-2 hours a
week, while complex products can require 10-20 hours a week.
Keep in mind that a properly targeted tester should be fitting
this product into their daily life, therefore beta testing isn’t
necessarily “work”.
