Software Testers
They would be known as Software Testers.
Many computer software companies offer new software to a limited number of testers for free, to use and critique, prior to the public release of the software.

Automated software testing is a crucial technique for software testing in which testers leverage automated software tools for executing test cases
There seems to be a few missing words in your question... if it was supposed to say "why do people want software testers?" it is because they can test your software to make sure it works ,in all possible situations. if the question was supposed to be "why do people want to be software testers?" then the answer is A)because it is fun and B) because most software testers get paid $$$. ;)
There are many misconceptions about what a software tester actually is. Software testers examine and use programs at different points during software development to make sure changes and interfaces have been properly implemented. For any professional software tester, the work is very hard and often requires a degree in computer science. Team coordination is vital, and testers are regularly included in development meetings. Unlike some portrayals of testers, most actually travel to, and work at, the site of the software development company, and very few work from home.
Software testers are the people who test out the computer software before it is used, either in computers or before the general public buys them from stores in the form of games and applications.
You must mean Beta Software. Beta Software is pre-release software still in the process of development made available to "beta-testers" for the purpose of identifying problems in the application. Because of the nature of beta software, running such software could potentially cause system-wide problems.
A software beta test is a test release of the software. Normally beta testers then take the software and test it out and report any bugs in the software. A few more tests down the road is called a Release Candidate then after those there is the final version.
Test management is basically everything that testers and QA teams do to manage the software testing process or lifecycle. Test case management tools enable software testers and Quality Assurance (QA) teams to manage test case environments, automated tests, bugs and project tasks.

They are things that software testers use in their jobs. These would include databases to store the details of errors they have found, software to generate test data quickly and in large amounts. Software that can feed data into programs that they are testing. There are many others too.
