Alpha and Beta Testing

Alpha testing is conducted internally by developers on a near-complete version of the software to test it in a controlled environment. Beta testing involves external users testing the software in real-world conditions to identify bugs and provide feedback. Both alpha and beta testing are important parts of the testing process, with alpha testing helping create a stable version for beta testing and beta testing providing feedback from real users to improve the software.

the end of a development process when the product is almost in a
usable state.

1 Done by the customer at developer site.

2 Conducted in controlled Environment.

3 Developer is present

4 Carried out before the release of the software to customer.

5 Error and failure are recorded


Alpha Testing example

Example
Beta testing

Beta Testing of a product is performed by "real users" of the software


application in a "real environment" and can be considered as a form of
external user Acceptance Testing.

1 Done by the customer at customer site.

2 Conducted in real time Environment not under the developer control.

3 Developer is not present

4 Carried out after the release of the software to customer.

5 Error and failure are reported

Alpha Testing Vs Beta Testing
Conclusion

1 No matter how many tests you perform, how many bugs you kill, your software is
useless if your users do not like it. Beta testing (second Greek alphabet)helps
provide authentic feedback of your software from real users.

2 Alpha testing (first Greek alphabet) helps simulate Realtime user environment
before the software is sent for Beta Testing and helps shape a stable software
candidate eligible for Beta Tests.

3 Alpha and Beta Testing are indispensable in your testing life cycle.
