Closed Beta

Closed Beta refers to a specific phase in the software development process where a product—often a video game or application—is made available to a limited group of users for testing purposes. During this phase, selected participants, often referred to as beta testers, use the product to identify bugs, provide feedback, and assess the overall user experience. Access to a closed beta is typically restricted, requiring an invitation or registration, which helps developers gather controlled feedback and allows them to make adjustments before a public release. This process helps ensure that the final product is polished and meets user expectations, as developers can address any issues that arise during this testing phase. Closed beta testing is crucial for refining features, balancing gameplay, and enhancing performance based on targeted user input.
