At first I think I put something like 14-18 hours, but then I realized that if I started having trouble in school or if something else more important came up I would not be able to spend that much time beta testing. So I put a weak 4-8 hours in as my time. This is something I know I can do pretty much no matter what goes wrong.
Now I see everyone putting in these large amounts of hours for beta testing and all I can say is that if you can dedicate 30 or so hours a week beta testing someone's software for free then you'd be a much more useful beta tester than I. Maybe I should have multiplied my numbers by ten just to keep up with the competition
