Testing a pre-release (potentially unreliable) version of a piece of software by making it available to selected users.

or

Beta-stage maps: a beta stage map is a map that is fully complete, just not perfected due to lach of play testing by other people. The map is 100% playable, but just may have bugs and imbalances that the author did not forsee just due to not enouph 3rd party play time put in it. The diff between early and late beta stages: early stages are when the author KNOWS that there are bugs and imbalances, but just wants to see what pops up during play testing to know what they are. Late beta stages is when the bugs have been fixed, believe that the map is free of bugs, but is just making sure one last time.
