dogfood n.
[Microsoft, Netscape] Interim software used internally for testing. "To eat one's own dogfood" (from which the slang noun derives) means to use the software one is developing, as part of one's everyday development environment (the phrase is used outside Microsoft and Netscape, and the practice is normal in the Linux community and elsewhere). The idea is that developers who are using their own software will quickly learn what's missing or broken. Dogfood is typically not even of beta quality.
