What is beta software?

[Dave Davis]

Does anyone have a good company policy on beta software? Would include answers to quesitons such as:
What is beta software?
How is it testing?
What level of testing required?
What is needed from the beta site?
Signed beta agreement?
Documentation?
Beta revision?
How is it released? With what level of testing?
What are the expectations of the beta test?
What data are you attemping to gather?
What security features do you need to have in the software?
Disclaimer?
Splash screen?
What is the method of monitoring?
Feedback?

Hmmm... I really don't know enough about this to comment... will bump it up for now - if we don't hear anything - maybe it should be moved to the software section.
