Answer / jays
Alpha Testing:A virtual user environment can be created for
this type of testing. Testing is done at the end of
development. Still minor design changes may be made as a
result of such testing.
Beta testing: Testing is done by end-users or others. Final
testing before releasing application for commercial purpose
is called beta testing.

conducted in the customer's place either by the end users or

Alpha Testing- Testing done by the potential User/customer at developers site in the presence of the developer is called as alpha testing. This also called as internal acceptance testing. Issues found during the alpha testing are fixed immediately.
Beta testing- Testing of application done by the potential User/customer at customers site in the absence of the developer is called as Beta testing. Goal is to gather feed back from the customer.

Answer / anitha.m
BETA TESTING:
The goal of beta testing is to place your application in the hands of real users outside of your own engineering team to discover any flaws or issues from the user’s perspective that you would not want to have in your final, released version of the application.
Open and closed beta:
Developers release either a closed beta or and open beta
Closed beta versions are released to a select group of individuals for a user test and are invitation only, while
Open betas are from a larger group to the general public and anyone interested. The testers report any bugs that they find, and sometimes suggest additional features they think should be available in the final version.
