Beta testing is a crucial step to software release. So therefore it is important for testers to provide proper feedback to the team, so they can fix/improve the usability of the software. Here's what should we do when we are testing beta software :
1. Reporting Bugs
The main aim of beta testing is to spot and squash bugs and other issues that went unnoticed in the development phase. So, bug reports are really important. This helps beta team to identify and take measures to eliminate bugs; thereby enhancing to user experience.
2. Submitting Feature Requests
While testing the software, you may feel the 'missing' of some important feature(s). So it is important that beta manager would know which feature will be preferred by the users in future. Feature requests and feature improvements that the testers submit are valuable insights.
3. Discussing on Community
Participating in forums and discussions provides insights into what users are talking about. If you find something exciting, please mention it in form of posts and others would express their opinion.
