Beta is the nick name of the software which has passed the alpha testing phase. It is the prototype of the software which is released to the public.
This is the first version released outside the organization.
Sometimes this version is known as a preview, a prototype, a technical preview (TP) or as an early access.
The term beta test comes from an IBM hardware product test convention, dating back to punched card tabulating and sorting machines.
