Hi Gaurav Normal 0 Alpha Testing: Alpha Testing is mostly like performing usability testing which is done by the in-house developers who developed the software or testers. Sometimes this Alpha Testing is done by the client or an outsider with the presence of developer and tester. Beta Testing: Beta Testing is done by limited number of end users before delivery the change request would be fixed if the user gives feedback or reports defect. The version release after beta testing is called beta Release. Normal 0 Alpha and Beta tests comes under User acceptance test. We will conduct these two systems being released. We are giving opportunity to customer to check all punctualities covered or not. Alpha testing conducting for software application by real customer at development site. Beta testing conducting for software product by model customer at customer site. Thanks
