Alpha Testing

  • By: Internal testers / development team with customer presence
  • Purpose: Find bugs before beta; Example: Developer tests e-commerce payment flow internally, fixes issues.

Beta Testing

  • Where: At customer's site, real environment (uncontrolled)

Alpha → Beta → Release. Both are Validation activities.
