In 20 years of software development, we almost always paid people to perform Beta testing. Usually by offering overtime or comp time to employees.

Cheers,

Jeff

You know, Alpha testing is when you hire someone to test it for you. This is Ron's Beta test. Beta testing, by definition, is done by outside people. I don't know of a single company that pays Beta testers. I have been running the version of Microsoft Office that will be coming out around the end of the year for some time now. Microsoft doesn't pay me to do that. Why should Ron?
