beta launch

Early public release

A beta launch is the release of a product—typically software or a service—to a limited audience before its official public debut.

The beta version is functional but still being refined, and early users help identify bugs and usability issues: We're doing a beta launch next month to work out the kinks.

Compare alpha (earlier, internal testing) and full launch.
