Test software release is a process of releasing a new version of a software product to the public. It is usually done after extensive testing and debugging of the software. The term 'BETA' is used to refer to a pre-release version of the software that is made available to a limited number of users for testing purposes. BETA versions are typically released to the public before the final version of the software is released. This allows developers to identify any potential issues with the software before it is released to the general public.
