Ehm... Do you even know what betatesting means? It's letting someone else play through your DMOD to spot the bugs you didn't find. Betatesting is not the only testing that needs to be performed. I play through my DMODs quite thoroughly before even releasing a beta, making it as bug-free as reasonably achievable. Because you know all the places and quests you become blind for the mistakes an average player can make, that's where betatesting is for.

I made a DMOD once which I played though several times (it was very short). I thought it had to be completely bug-free. But then I went though all of the different scripts by hand and found like three or four bugs in that very small DMOD. For me it illustrated that testing DMODs yourself only is an almost sure way of introducing bugs.
