I'm trying to understand what beta means. I've heard this term in different contexts, but I'm not entirely sure what it represents or how it's used. Can someone explain the concept of beta to me?

    It often refers to the second entity in a position, order, or class, distinguished by the use of the name beta or the Greek letter β.

    Additionally, beta is used to describe a nearly complete prototype of a product, particularly in the realm of software development.

    The beta version of a software, for instance, represents a stage where the product is almost fully developed but not yet finalized for public release.
