Answer / harish
Alpha testing is the software prototype stage when the
software is first able to run. It will not have all the
intended functionality, but it will have core functions and
will be able to accept inputs and generate outputs. An
alpha test usually takes place in the developer's offices
on a separate system.
The software has reached "beta" stage when it is operating
with most of its functionality, and is ready for user
feedback.
Beta tests enable the software to be tested in customer
environments, giving users the opportunity to exercise the
software, find errors, and correct them before a product is
released. For beta test, the software is delivered to
customers' sites, along with instructions on what features
to exercise in the software. The developer records, tracks,
and addresses reported bugs.
