• Key Concepts: 
  A beta shipment is a type of shipment that is used to test the functionality of a product before it is released to the public. It is typically used in the software industry, where developers need to test the product before it is released to customers. Beta shipments are also used in other industries, such as automotive and medical, where products need to be tested before they are released.
  
  How to use it: 
  Beta shipments are typically used by developers and testers to ensure that a product meets all of its requirements before it is released. The process involves sending out a limited number of copies of the product to a select group of testers who can provide feedback on the product’s performance. This feedback can then be used to make any necessary changes or improvements before the product is released.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using beta shipments, it is important to ensure that the testers are qualified and experienced in the field. Additionally, it is important to provide clear instructions on how to use the product and what feedback should be provided. Finally, it is important to ensure that all feedback is taken into account and any necessary changes are made before the product is released.
