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.
