Pre-release testing is a critical phase in the software development culture across both Brazil and the USA. In Brazilian tech companies, this phase is often called 'fase de testes' and involves both internal QA teams and external beta testers. In the USA and internationally, this practice has become industry standard, with companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google regularly conducting pre-release testing phases. The terminology reflects the global nature of software development, and professionals in Brazil are very familiar with these English terms used in the tech industry.
