To cut the long story short, the term
“beta” refers to a software’s stage of
development. I would like to compare it to the life cycle of insects, which
typically goes through multiple phases:
Eggs - Larva - Pupa - Adult. So as
software products develop they also go through a similar cycle:
Pre-alpha - Alpha - Beta and then the
Release stage.
The Four Stages of a Software Product Development:
As the name implies, a release candidate is the last step in the
development cycle before actually releasing a product as finished.
Sometimes the term can apply to a particular patch or update to an
existing product. In essence, the release candidate is a version that’s
almost complete but requires a tiny bit more testing to quash final bugs
and issues.
Now that you’re a little more knowledgeable on the phases of the software development cycle, I hope that you will stop rushing for
BETA versions thinking that they are
BETTER than the final product. I can see someone who has been using WhatsApp beta versions from the Google Play Store. Come here for TMWhatsApp final product.😃😃😃
