How does beta testing work

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The author sends their (most of the times) unpublished story, and tells the beta-tester what they need feedback on (like spot directing).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.
