Alpha testing is conducted internally by developers on a near-final version of software to identify bugs before beta testing. Beta testing involves external users testing the software in a real-world environment. While alpha testing occurs in a controlled setting with developers present, beta testing collects feedback from users in their natural environment without developer involvement. Both testing stages help improve software quality and user satisfaction before final release.

2. Alpha Testing
Alpha testing is a testing type that is completed on an application
towards 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
5
Carried out before the release of the software to customer.
Error and failure are recorded

3. Alpha Testing Procedure
1 Cross Reference
2 Introduction and Objectives
3 Alpha Test Plan

Alpha Test Execution
Alpha Test Report

4. Alpha Testing Advantages and Disadvantages
1 Reliability of software given at early stage
2 The user will get high-quality services and complete functionality
3 The errors and bugs removed before use of the software

5. Beta testing
Beta Testing of a product is performed by “client " 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

Carried out after the release of the software to customer.
Error and failure are reported

1 Project Planning
2 Recruiting Participants
3 Distributing Different Versions of Product

Collecting Feedback
Evaluating Feedback

7. Beta Testing Advantages and Disadvantages
1 Quality Increased
2 Performance Increased
3 Fix the problem before software releases into the market

User test software and give feedback which is important for beta testing
Increases customer satisfaction and create goodwill with the customer

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.
