Google's product development reflects our focus on rapid and continuous innovation. We frequently release new technologies that we aim to improve with each iteration. Often, we make products available early in their development stages by posting them on Google Labs, at test locations online, or directly on Google.com. If our users find a product useful, we promote it to "beta" status for additional testing. These test periods often last a year or more. Once we are satisfied that a product is of high quality and utility, we remove the beta label.
