test: n.

  1. Real users bashing on a prototype long enough to get thoroughly acquainted with it, with careful monitoring and followup of the results.
  2. Some bored random user trying a couple of the simpler features with a developer looking over his or her shoulder, ready to pounce on mistakes.

Judging by the quality of most software, the second definition is far more prevalent. See also demo.
