Note
The verb behind this form has two lives: in software, putting an unfinished release in front of early users (the studio is betaing a new build), and online, beta-reading a friend's draft. The -ing attaches straight to the final vowel, so betaing looks odd on the page but is perfectly regular. As a gerund it names the activity itself, as in thanks for betaing my chapter.
