What are the most common terms used by the software industry in Japan to list software as "beta" as in an early release. And how would they translate literally to American English?
Beta software defined as not officially released but available to a select number of individuals for testing. https://techterms.com/definition/beta_software
While there might be some phrases, I am looking for the short version which would be easily recognizable.
ベータ
バータ版 (ばん)- beta version (of software)
as a translation listed somewhere but the reason i posted here was so discuss what the Japanese text actually means.
