why it is know as alpha and beta testing(alpha & beta)?

Answer Posted / sourabh das

Beta Testing is done by the users who will use the particular product and for Beta testing a Beta version of the software is released, you can see currently in Facebook they are asking Facebook users to be a beta Tester.
Doing beta testing different functionalities of the application can be tested which may be missed by Testers/Developers because its a real time testing.
After beta testing more improved version of the software is released.

Alpha testing : is the testing done by developer/tester on
developmnet center in presence of coustomer.
