They didn't send me an e-mail but when I logged into swtor.com and went to testing the invite was waiting for me.  Once I confirmed through the website I received an e-mail.

Hello everyone! We are excited to have you joining us for Beta Testing Weekend! We can't wait to get you all into the test. If you just received your invitation today, you can visit www.swtor.com/tester to download the launcher and begin patching the game.

To simulate a launch environment, testers who have accepted new invites to weekend testing will gain testing access in staggered intervals based on when their invites were accepted. The first group of testers will be able to log on beginning on Friday morning (11/25) at 10:00AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin). Then, Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin) the second and final waves of testers will gain access. Please watch your email for details about when your phase of testing begins. This will come in a separate email from your invite.

To our existing testers: at 10:00AM CST on Friday 11/25, you will notice several new servers appear in server selection for the weekend test to accommodate all our weekend testers. You are welcome to create characters on these new servers, but please note that they will only be available for the duration of the weekend test, which ends on 11/27 at 11:59PM CST (11/28 5:59 London, 6:59 Paris/Berlin).

All testers share forums at this time, so please welcome our weekend testers, who will be active in these forums for the duration of the weekend test!

Everyone should have received an email in regards to being accepted into Beta. Please note that this is only for a weekend test and is not, in fact, a full beta invite.

go to your "My Account" settings on the swtor.com site, then go to "Security questions" and make sure you've set that up. Once that is done, you should be able to move forward.

Downloading it now. May have a free couple of hours over the weekend (mainly Sunday) - will need authorization for TS as I haven't been on it for a long, long time.
