When we develop brand new products or new versions of existing products we undertake a massive in house testing programme designed to test them on as many different combinations of software and hardware as possible. However it is impossible for us to completely test every single feature on the almost infinite amount of different combinations of hardware and software that form modern PC's, so we usually release our software marked as a "Beta version" to catch any last few issues.

If no major issues are found then it is upgraded to a "Full Release" at which point it becomes fully supported by Broadcast Radio Technical Support.  If any major issues are found then we usually get these issues fixed and issue a new updated Beta version.

You may also see us sometimes refer to an "Alpha Version" as well, which are test versions that we sometimes send out while we are working on new features.

To see a full explanation of the different phases that our software goes through, we've prepared a handy Help article to explain the process - click here to read the article.
