I've never beta tested a game but I did beta test Packet Tracer 4. It's a program by Cisco that basically allows you to simulate setting up and configuring all the hardware that goes into LANs and WANs such as switches and routers. Was a lot of fun playing with that thing trying to break it or find cases where a switch or router didn't behave as it should when configured a certain way.

Duke Nukem Forever I am guessing is the longest beta test ever... If it's being beta tested, lol..... Someone must be playing it to get the bugs out...

I could, of course, name windows, which most of us are kind of beta testing  as the longest beta ever. 

However, VGA Planets 4 if *officialy* in beta for 5 years now

Granted, given the quality of games nowadays, most companies would have slaped the gold sticker on this game more than 2 years ago, as there are only very minor bugs (IMO) and some balance issues left. But the game keeps getting tweaked again and again, mostly after requests, followed by a few weeks of discussion, from the community (which is a good thing IMO)

Ok, enough of planets and back to SoaSE

in fact there's far too many too mention so i'll just quit. there's always tons of betas open. it's not like it's hard to get into them. i'm beta testing 9dragons right now, already posted a link for anyone interested. it's not a bad game at all.
