Beta Testing Program

Welcome to our Beta Testing Program! This initiative is designed to ensure that our new features deliver exceptional value by involving real users in their development. Here’s an overview of how the program works and why it’s a critical part of our product lifecycle.

Program Goals

1. Differentiate Between Deployments and Commercial Releases

Our goal is to deliver multiple commercial releases per year. To ensure these releases are polished and impactful, all new features are deployed for beta testing before their official release. This approach helps us refine and optimize features by addressing real-world needs.

2. Test New Features With Real Data and Users

Beta testing allows us to gather valuable insights from real user interactions and real-world data. This feedback is instrumental in improving our features, making them more reliable, user-friendly, and effective for the commercial release.

3. Foster Collaboration With All Interested Users

We aim to involve all users who are interested in shaping the future of our platform. By participating as Beta Testers, users can provide valuable insights and feedback, helping us refine new features to better meet their needs. This inclusive approach ensures our tools are developed with input from diverse perspectives and use cases.

How Beta Testing Works

1. Sign-Up Process
   Users can join the program through the Dashboard’s Help Center.

2. Introduction to Features
   Once enrolled, users receive an introduction to new beta features. This content remains accessible via the Help Center for reference.

3. Ongoing Feedback
   We actively collect feedback from Beta Testers every week to gain insights into their experiences. This feedback helps us fine-tune features before their commercial release.

4. Feature Release
   After sufficient testing and refinement based on feedback, beta features are released to all users. The duration of beta testing varies depending on:

   • The volume of feedback received.

   • Consistency guidelines.

   • Required improvements.
