UAT - Alpha Testing and Beta Testing
- What is the difference between Alpha Testing and Beta Testing?
- Typically a software product passes through two stages of testing before it is considered to be Final.
- The first stage is known as "Alpha Testing".
- Alpha Testing is often performed by potential users / customers or an independent test team at the developers' site.
- It is usually done when the development of the software product is nearing completion; minor design changes may still be made as a result of Alpha testing.
- The second stage coming after alpha testing is known as "Beta Testing".
- Versions of the software, known as beta versions, are released to a limited audience outside of the programming team so that further evaluation by the users can reveal more faults or bugs in the product.
- Sometimes, beta versions are made available to the open public to increase the feedback field to a maximum number of future users.
- Usually it is done at customer places or customer like places (end users)
