Glossary Entry: Beta Tester

Definition

A beta tester is someone who helps software developers by using their software before it's ready for public release (ie, as part of a beta test).

Sometimes beta testers receive various perks, such as early access to the finished product, a spot in the project's credits, or in the case of video games, special in-game items or skins.
