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)
