Explanation:
Alpha Testing
Alpha testing is an internal checking done by the in-house development or QA team, rarely, by the customer himself. Its main purpose is to discover software bugs that were not found before. At the stage of alpha testing, software behavior is verified under real-life conditions by imitating the end-users’ actions. It enables us to get fast approval from the customer before proceeding to product delivery.
The alpha phase includes the following testing types: smoke, sanity, integration, systems, usability, UI (user interface), acceptance, regression, and functional testing. If an error is detected, then it is immediately addressed to the development team. Alpha testing helps to discover issues missed at the stage of requirement gathering. The alpha release is the software version that has passed alpha testing. The next stage is beta testing.
Beta Testing
Beta testing can be called pre-release testing. It can be conducted by a limited number of end-users called beta testers before the official product delivery. The main purpose of beta testing is to verify software compatibility with different software and hardware configurations, types of network connection, and to get the users’ feedback on software usability and functionality.
There are two types of beta testing:
open beta is available for a large group of end-users or to everyone interested
closed beta is available only to a limited number of users that are selected especially for beta testing.
During beta testing, end users detect and report bugs they have found. All the testing activities are performed outside the organization that has developed the product. Beta checking helps to identify the gaps between the stage of requirements gathering and their implementation. The product version that has passed beta testing is called beta release. After the beta phase comes gamma testing.
