    11 ''Beta phase generally begins when the software is feature complete but likely to contain a number of known or unknown bugs. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues and may still cause crashes or data loss. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing.'' [ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Beta Wikipedia] ]
