How does beta testing work

Hey, I just wanted to know how beta testing works, I keep seeing people ask for them but no one really goes into detail about it.

The author who needs a beta-tester asks for it, the beta tester replies that they can help.
The author sends their (most of the times) unpublished story, and tells the beta-tester what they need feedback on (like spot directing).
Now, what does the beta-tester do?
They read the story, and give feedback. Sometimes they have to read more branches (like male LI and female LI). What I do is take screenshots while reading to keep the notes, but sometimes the story is already pretty good and it just doesn’t need more feedback.

so how do they get the unpublished story?

In the writers portal there is a link at the bottom of the “home page” of the story. They send that link to the beta-tester(s).

thank you,
So just to be clear, there is no way they can edit your script?

Nope, they just read it on the app.
