What is Alpha Testing?

Alpha testing is a type of acceptance testing, which is done to recognize all possible errors/issues before releasing the product in the market. Alpha test is a executed by a team of testers to discover out the errors that were not found earlier by other tests. Alpha testing is to simulate a real user environment by carrying out tasks and operations that actual user might perform. Alpha testing implies a meeting with a software vendor and client to make sure that the developers appropriately satisfy the client’s needs in terms of the functionality, performance, and durability of the software.

What is Beta Testing?

Beta Testing is the final test before shipping a product to the customers. Beta testing of a software is done by real users and in a real environment. In this testing, the application is released to restricted number of users of the product to get feedback on the quality of software. In this, real users can provide inputs into the design, functionality, and performance of the software. These inputs are important for the success of the product. Beta testing lowers risks of product failure and improve the quality of the software through feedback of customer.

Key Differences

  • Alpha Testing is executed by internal employees of the organization and Beta Testing is performed by users
  • Alpha Testing is done within the organization, while Beta Testing is done in the user’s environment
  • During Alpha Testing only functionality and usability are tested, while during Beta Testing usability, functionality, security, and reliability are tested in great depth
  • Long execution cycles may be required for Alpha Testing while just a few weeks of execution make Beta Testing possible

How We Perform Alpha Testing

Depending upon the size of the software product, alpha testing steps may vary, but they have some characteristics in common:

Properly analyse the design specifications
Understand the product’s functional requirements
Develop a detailed test plan and test cases
Implement those plans and cases to recognize bugs and errors
Run tests and resolve those errors in production at the earliest opportunity

How We Perform Beta Testing

Here are six steps you can follow to beta testing success:

Complete alpha testing
All known issues or bugs should be fixed prior to the beta testing. The beta version of a product should be as close to perfect as the internal team can make it. Alpha testing averts products from moving into the beta testing phase prematurely.
Determine a test strategy
Determining a specific test strategy can help plan the beta testing process. Think about whether you would like a beta test to focus on specific features or the entire product as a whole. Consider whether you want to ask for limited user feedback or issue an open call to anyone who wants to give the feedback about the product.
Define a target market
Every beta test focuses on real users, but you should target more specifically those people to whom you select to provide use cases.
Focus on user experience
Unless you’re doing technical beta testing, users will be more suited to speak to you about the usability, functionality, and quality of the software overall than help you find technical solutions. Rather than hoping for fixes through this phase, focus on gathering insight about errors and positive feedback in a UX heavy sense.
Gather honest feedback
To get a best product in a market, encourage your test cases to provide honest feedback. Both customer feedback and customer satisfaction should be real.
Set exit criteria
Set exit criteria to decide when to stop receiving feedback from users and implementing changes so you can move on to the final testing phase. The good thing is that you can do beta testing for new features continuously even after you release the software in market.
