- A group of companies (vendors, labs or end users) volunteered to be beta trial testers, submitting feedback / bugs. # of companies should be >= 5, including vendors, labs and end users.
- Test result review
- Beta participants submit Beta test results for review the same way one would in an actual application
- C&C committee organizes a CVP review group for Beta test result review. The review result will be shared with the participant who submitted the test result.

- During the Beta trial no new tests or features will be merged into the Dovetail master branch.
- Exit Beta

- If , for example, 0.97.x is the version when the above exit criteria is met, then we will re-label it 1.0.0, and it becomes the first release.
