What is Alpha and Beta Testing?

Answer Posted / mithilesh singh

Alpha and Beta testing are two different kinds of testing,
Alpha testing always performs in the development environment with the help of the internal QA team and developer just to ensure whatever we developed is more stable, and Beta testing performs by actual end-users in their environment.
This is the basic concept but there is little difference when we create a difference between service and product based company

Service-based alpha testing might have internal or external kind of user acceptance testing.
Internal means internal QA performs this kind of testing for customers.
External means the Customer does one round of testing before accepting the application.

Product base companies perform alpha testing with the help of the internal QA and development team only and this is an internal acceptance kind of testing there is not external acceptance testing concept. For end-users feedback, we do a beta release. end-users use the application and give the feedback that is meant by beta testing.

let me know if I am wrong.
