What is Alpha testing?
The goal of Alpha testing is to evaluate the quality of software products or services. The goal is to search for bugs and try to answer the question: "Does it work correctly?” The Alpha testing is done by the developers or intern testers in the development company. The testing software product runs in a testing environment. The program isn't public.
The Alpha testing usually starts when the software is done from 70% to 90%. The development of the main functions is done. Big changes in functionality are not expected anymore.
What is Beta testing?
Beta testing is the process of software testing, which is realized after finishing the Alpha testing. Beta testing is the stage before publishing the software. It is the last step before launching the application.
The Beta version of the testing product or service is usually distributed to a limited amount of users. The users use the program and they report the discovered bugs to developers. The users usually represent the typical users of future application. They help to improve the quality and stability application before the final launch.
