You are awesome! Thanks for the tips. I hope to do exactly as you wrote.

Maybe you also know some resources like erli bird which help to find people for beta tests?

7 year olds and 30 year olds. anything in between that age is full of morons, retards, idiots.

Market it before you release. If people come to you interested then you have beta testers and you know you have something worth selling.

>>1808884
Thanks for the range.
Did you look people for beta tests anywhere?

Marketing is a must when you are going to launch a product. Do you have any experience in launching a product?

I don't know what your software is.

If you target group are some small companies and your software calculates the most efficient supply chain or something I would contact small companies. This is the best feedback you could get. Facing and fixing real problems instead of someone testing it on the other side of the world and giving you tips like changing the size of a button or something.

If you have some entertainment shit I don't know. Maybe earlybird is a good idea. I'm not familiar with it.

The product is going to be a team messenger for small and medium-sized companies.

I do know some resources, but good tips and help is always a good thing.

I thought someone has already faced with such a task and could get some advice on how to find beta testers more efficiently.

>small and medium-sized companies

There you go.
Contact small companies and offer them your product for free with free support at first. Be honest and do not sugar-coat your product. You need honest feedback.
This is the best beta testing you can get.

You are absolutely right. Thanks again for your help!

I'd pick beta testers based on their personality and their mentality.

Well...as far as the software is about communication, it will be hard to guess the personality and mentality of people who use messengers for communication at work.

Anyway, could you give some more details on your comment?
