What is Alpha testing/ Beta testing?..

Answer / rehana

Alpha testing is done before the software is made available
to the general public. Typically, the developers will
perform the Alpha testing using white box testing
techniques. Subsequent black box and grey box techniques
will be carried out afterwards. The focus is on simulating
real users by using these techniques and carrying out tasks
and operations that a typical user might perform. Normally,
the actual Alpha testing itself will be carried out in a
lab type environment and not in the usual workplaces. Once
these techniques have been satisfactorily completed, the
Alpha testing is considered to be complete.

The next phase of testing is known as Beta testing. Unlike
Alpha testing, people outside of the company are included
to perform the testing. As the aim is to perform a sanity
check before the products release, there may be defects
found during this stage, so the distribution of the
software is limited to a selection of users outside of the
company. Typically, outsourced testing companies are used
as their feedback is independent and from a different
perspective than that of the software development company
employees. The feedback can be used to fix defects that
were missed, assist in preparing support teams for expected
issues or in some cases even enforce last minute changes to
functionality.
