What is a Beta?

A Beta is the first version of a product released outside the organization or community that develops the software, for the purpose of evaluation. At SAP BusinessObjects, the Beta version signifies a "feature complete" product, indicating no new features introduction for that version of the product. Once Beta is reached, we move into the Stabilization phase of our product life cycle where we include a beta program and final phases of internal testing to move us towards general availability of our products.
