Question

Compare between Alpha and Beta testing.

Answer 1

Alpha

Alpha testing is a type of acceptance testing, performed within the organization, by the developers within the site of development itself.

For alpha testing it requires lab environment or testing environment, and the developer is present as well. But at times the beta testing is also performed by an independent testing team.

Beta

Beta testing is always conducted usually in the real time environment by customers or end users at the clients place (not in the organization).

Beta testing doesn’t require any specific environment or any independent testing team, it can be done by the client itself.
