Collecting Feedback
Evaluating Feedback
Beta Testing Advantages and Disadvantages

User test software and give feedback which is important for beta testing
Increases customer satisfaction and create goodwill with the customer
Alpha Testing Vs Beta Testing
Conclusion
1
2
3
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.
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.
Alpha and Beta Testing are indispensable in your testing life cycle.

Editor's Notes

  1. Disadvantages of Alpha testing. The in-depth function of the software is not tested because the software is still in development stage.
  2. Project planning: In project planning first company set the objectives through which the goals are achieved.The company assigns the rules through which goals are easy can be achieved. Recruiting participants: Beta testing is used for making a call for testers who use the incomplete version of the product and he provides the feedback about the software The distributive different version of the product: In beta testing the product is updated and provide to the beta users and beta users tell about their experience with the product Collecting feedback: When the beta user starts using the beta product the feedback is needed or gathered quickly as soon as possible.in which there are suggestions, general comments, bugs report and quotes. Evaluating feedback: When all the feedback is collected they are systematically reviewed so what should be improved in the product or what are the response of the users.
  3. Disadvantages Of Beta Testing. If the user does not give feedback we can’t ensure that software performs well. The participation of beta user is a challenge.
