What is a Beta Release?
A beta release is one of many elements employed by Impatica as part of our product quality control cycle. A beta release is used for software/hardware that has not yet completed internal quality control processes but has had a great deal of client interest; i.e. clients are keen to use the product even though it is not yet stable and ready for release. Clients participating in a beta release agree to report found incidents back to Impatica so they can be logged and, ideally, repaired in time for the final release of the product.
Program Goals
Impatica conducts beta programs to allow eager customers and prospects the opportunity to be part of the testing process followed for new and/or improved Impatica products. In addition, we want to collect bug incident reports and enhancement requests for the product in beta release. Therefore, we require ongoing communication and incident reporting to ensure that your input is received and investigated prior to final release.

Each time you submit a complete incident report that describes a unique problem or feedback against a beta release product, you will earn a 1% discount towards the purchase of the final product when released; to a maximum of 10% off.
