Bug hunting is a process of finding vulnerabilities in software before it releases in the market. The development fixes all issues regarding security, and UI/UX, and identifies errors before the final launch. It is the most important period for a trial-and-error process to make the final release a smooth experience for the user.
When asked by the influencer how many months could the Beta testing phase remain, Shytoshi answered, “Guess 2 months. It can be much longer! 4 months,” he said.
