The person you bounce ideas off while in the process of writing is usually called a writing partner, crit partner, or, sometimes, alpha reader. A writers' group can serve the function.
For me, a beta reader gives me the reaction of the person-on-the-street to the final product.
From the film making perspective: think of the difference between the daily rushes and the test audience/focus group.
