Answer / mercy
Alpha testing is an internal acceptance testing. This is
simulated or actual operational testing by users/customers
or dedicated test team at the developer's site.
Beta testing comes after alpha testing. Versions of
developed sotware called beta versions are released to
limited audience outside of the company. Sometimes these
versions are released to the public to increase feedback
fields for the future users.

Answer / sripathi venkata ramesh
I am Sripathi Venkata Ramesh from Gudivada and the answer
is mentioned below
Alpha and beta are two different sides of acceptance
testing.
During acceptance testing the final testing is to be done
by the development team and then by the client side people.
When it is done by the development team it is called alpha
testing and when by the client side people it is called
beta testing.
Alpha testing: alpha testing is done by client side people
in development environment..
Beta testing: Testing is done by client side people in real
time environment....

the time or not.
