About the Program
Thank you for your interest in our Beta Tester Program! As we strive to provide the best user experience for all of our customers, we always do our best to conduct thorough testing before a new product or feature is released, but we also understand that there may still be bugs or usability issues that we did not discover.
And that’s where you come in! As a beta tester, you can opt in to receive new app updates, firmware updates, and new products[1] before they’re officially released. These updates may include new features, bug fixes, and interface improvements. You can provide feedback on issues you discovered, suggestions on new features and changes, or anything that you think we did well or still need to improve on. Your feedback is important to our development process, and we may offer rewards and incentives for your participation.
We truly appreciate your willingness to help test and provide feedback on our products and services, so that we can present the final product in its best shape.

Software Testing
As a software tester, you will have early access to the latest Bosma beta app. The beta app update may include new features, new designs, and bug fixes.
Note that some features in the beta app may also require installing the beta firmware to function properly.
Firmware Testing
As a firmware tester, you will have early access to the latest Bosma product firmware updates. These beta updates may include new features and bug fixes.
You can select which of your Bosma devices you wish to opt in for firmware testing.
Note that some features in the beta firmware may also require installing the beta app to function properly.
Product Testing
As a product tester, you will be able to try out our upcoming products before they’re officially released! You will be able to keep the product after testing is completed, and we may also offer other incentives as a reward for your contribution.
Some product testing projects may have additional requirements, e.g. you may be asked to complete a survey, try out certain features of the product, or troubleshoot with our team if an issue arises. These requirements will be listed on each project’s application form.
While we will try to offer the new product testing opportunity to everyone who’s interested, it is not guaranteed that you will be selected for a project. To improve your odds of being selected, please fill out the registration form in detail and contribute to software/firmware testing if you’re a current Bosma user.
You can find a list of currently active projects on the community home page after you sign up.
