Effortless Beta Testing

Optimize your beta testing process with ConfigBee’s feature flags, targeted rollouts, and real-time updates. Easily test new features with select users and refine them before full release.

Introduction

Beta testing is essential for refining new features before they reach a wider audience. With ConfigBee, you can effortlessly manage feature rollouts, gather user feedback, and make real-time adjustments, ensuring a polished final release.

Why Beta Testing Matters?

Beta testing allows you to identify and fix issues before a full release, improving the overall quality of your product. It also provides an opportunity to gather valuable user feedback, helping you fine-tune features for maximum impact.

ConfigBee’s Role in Beta Testing

Targeted Feature Rollouts
With ConfigBee’s advanced targeting capabilities, you can selectively enable features for a specific group of beta testers. This controlled exposure allows you to manage risk and gather focused feedback.
Real-Time Updates and Rollbacks
ConfigBee allows you to make real-time updates to features during the beta phase without requiring a full deployment. If issues arise, you can instantly roll back features, maintaining stability in your production environment.
Contextual Targeting for Insightful Feedback
Use ConfigBee’s contextual targeting to analyze how different user segments interact with your beta features. This targeted approach helps you gather more meaningful insights and tailor the final release to user preferences.

Decoupling Deployments from Releases

ConfigBee enables you to deploy features to production while keeping them hidden behind feature flags. This approach allows for thorough testing in a real-world environment without exposing unfinished features to all users, reducing the risk of widespread issues.

Example Use Case

Imagine your team is developing a new messaging feature for your mobile app. Using ConfigBee, you can create a beta testing group that consists of 10% of your user base. The feature is rolled out exclusively to this group, and based on their feedback, you make adjustments in real-time. Once the feature is polished, you roll it out to your entire user base with confidence.
