What is Alpha and Beta Testing?
Answer Posted / rajkuamar gholve
a) Alpha Testing: - Alpha testing is simulated or
actual operational testing by potential users/customers
or an independent test team at the developers' site. Alpha
testing is often employed for off-the-shelf software as a
form of internal acceptance testing, before the software
goes to beta testing. The customer may be invited into the
vendor's facilities for an alpha test to ensure the
client's vision has been interpreted properly by the
developer.
b) Beta Testing: - Operational testing by potential
and/or existing users/customers at an external site not
otherwise involved with the developers, to determine
whether or not a
component or system satisfies the user/customer needs &
fits within the business processes. Beta testing is often
employed as a form of external acceptance testing for COTS
software in order to acquire feedback. Versions of the
software, known as beta versions, are released to a cross
section of audience so that they can test the application
in real environment and can share feedback to the
development organization.
