Built for builders. Powered by a fresh pair of eyes.
About We Beta
Building something can feel like doing a hundred jobs at once. Testing doesn’t have to be one you do alone.
We Beta is a community for women building software to share their apps and get thoughtful feedback from fellow builders. Pick an app, try it out, and help someone see what’s working; and what could be better.
A little help goes a long way.
For builders
Post your app with a link, a little context, and a few things to try. Your private results link brings together tester responses, ratings, and issues so you can decide what to improve next.
For testers
Choose something that interests you from the gallery. Follow the builder’s tasks, share your impressions, and flag anything confusing or broken. You don’t need to be a testing expert; an honest perspective is valuable.
Beta or UAT? Two ways to test.
Both help a builder improve their app. The difference is whether you’re exploring the experience or checking specific requirements.
Open Beta
“What happens when someone actually tries this?”
An early try-out of an app. Testers explore, spot bugs, and share first impressions, ideas, or confusing moments. A short task list gives you a starting point, but there’s room to notice things beyond it.
Example: Try making a mood board. Was adding images easy? Did anything feel confusing? What would make you want to use it again?
Choose it for: broad feedback and discovering unexpected problems.
Structured UAT
“Does this do what it’s supposed to do?”
UAT stands for User Acceptance Testing. Testers follow specific tasks and compare each result with the builder’s expected outcome. They mark requirements as passed, blocked, or having an issue, then give a final readiness verdict.
Example: Create a mood board, save it, and reopen it. Success means its title and every image are still there.
Choose it for: checking important workflows before launch or an update.
Neither is a guarantee that an app is bug-free. Both give the builder useful evidence for deciding what comes next.
Kind, specific, and honest.
Helpful feedback says what you tried, what you expected, and what happened instead. A screenshot and the device you used can help a builder reproduce a problem. Things you loved and ideas for improvement belong here too.
- A bug, confusion, or a visual glitch?
- A bug means something doesn’t work. Confusion means the next step or meaning isn’t clear. A visual glitch is something that looks wrong, like overlapping text or a cut-off button.
- What’s a blocker?
- A problem that prevents you from completing a task. Tell the builder where you got stuck and what stopped you.
- Who can see your feedback?
- Responses aren’t shown in the public gallery. The builder and anyone they share their private results link with can see them. Your name is optional. We don’t ask for tester emails or LinkedIn profiles. Permission to quote your feedback publicly is a separate choice.
