Some of you thought you already were beat testers. ;-)
Well, now you can be an official one (still unpaid). This is from

    Apple Allowing Non-Developers to Apply for OS X Beta Program
    ------------------
    Alongside iOS 7.1.1, Apple has introduced a new OS X beta 
    program that will see non-developers given an opportunity to
    download OS X betas before they are released to the public.
    Previously, participating in OS X betas required a developer
    account, priced at $99 per year.
    https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram

       "Join the OS X Beta Seed Program and accept the
        Beta Seed and Confidentiality Agreement. Apple
        will provide a Beta Access Utility for your Mac,
        which gives you access to pre-release versions
        of OS X in the Mac App Store Updates panel."

    Users can apply to join the beta program on Apple's new
    Appleseed Beta website, which allows users to apply using an
    Apple ID.Apple requires everyone who signs up to sign a
    confidentiality agreement, which prevents users from
    disclosing, publishing, or disseminating confidential 
    information to anyone not also enrolled in the Appleseed 
    program. 

    After agreeing to keep beta information confidential, Apple
    asks users to make a backup on their Macs before downloading
    a special Beta Access Utility App which allows a Mac to be
    enrolled for beta software updates. All updates will be
    delivered via the Mac App Store, similar to standard OS X
    updates.
