How We Beta Test at LaunchDarkly
LaunchDarkly uses feature flags within their development cycle for testing in production and mitigating risks. They identify features based on customer requests and feedback, then test with actual end users in production by turning features on for specific users or groups. Beta testing typically lasts two weeks to a month, during which they gather feedback and improve the feature before rolling it out to all users. Embracing failure is crucial as it helps identify major bugs early on. Currently, LaunchDarkly is in beta for scoped access tokens and a new faster .net SDK, seeking user feedback.
