Tiro de wikipedia, pero si quieres busco otra fuente...
"Beta" is a nickname for software which has passed the alpha testing stage of development and has been released to users for software testing before its official release. It is the prototype of the software that is released to the public. Beta testing allows the software to undergo usability testing with users who provide feedback, so that any malfunctions these users find in the software can be reported to the developers and fixed. Beta software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss.
Son ganas de tocar la pera... pero que le costaba a un jefe de equipo llamar al otro y decirle, oye, pasamos uno del otro, pero coordinemos por lo menos los cambios en los campos de contactos... por eso de ofrecer al usuario una buena experiencia.
