Qtest is a Quake technology test released on February 24, 1996. This was done as a way to test Deathmatch on a wider scale, instead of keeping it internally.
Though supporting Deathmatch maps only, the various game modes work regardless of the lack of features. Despite its buggy and crash-prone code, Qtest became extremely popular and was played until the shareware release of Quake came out. The maps are early versions of the first three Deathmatch levels, each designed to showcase a Level Theme.

Also see Qtest Custom Files for a list of various files that were released by the community in the small time period between Qtest and Quake. As joked by id Software, they could have let the rest of the community finish up Quake at the rate they were coming out.
