Answer / mercy

Alpha and beta testings come under Acceptance Testing.

Alpha testing is actual or simulation of the application
testing at the developer's site. Usually done by the test
team or users/customer's. After this, the application is
send for Beta testing.

Beta testing is done at the customer's site. The
application is released to a limited audience.Beta versions
are released to public for feedback.

User acceptance testing : This teating is done by end user
and it decides wether the appln. will be acceoted or not
by the user.

Alpha and Beta testing can be called as types of user
accepatance testing.....

Alpha : This testing is done by the user at the developers
site under the controlled environment once the appln is
built.
Beta : This testing is done by the user at their end under
uncontrolled environment,any bug found is reported to
developer.

Answer / akram

alpha testing and beta testing both comes under the
acceptence testing
alpha testing is the testing where the client would be
called for demo before accepting the product. the client
conducts this test in the developers place
Beta testing is the testing where the client of that
particular project conducts testing at one or more customer
sites and the customers records the problem and reports it
to the vendor and get them modified
