Greetings!

	I am doing some research on software development.  More precisely,
beta-testings.  What I have had a hard time coming up with are some
statistical data.  I am looking for:

	* An average time (length and frame) that beta-testing takes
	  as compared to the software project.

	* An average number of testers that are used within the industry
	  per product.

	* How much of a software development project's budget is actually
	  allocated to beta-testings.

	* What kind of man-power (company personnel) are usually needed to
	  effectively run a beta testing phase of the project.

	If anyone has any raw data, or can share numbers that they have
personally seen used within a company I would love to hear them.  I will
be glad to post my findings once I have accumulated enough information.

Thank you.

-- 
take care,
Jasen
