Question 353
Alpha and Beta testing are forms of
A
Acceptance testing
B
Integration testing
C
System testing
D
Unit testing
Question 353 Explanation: 
Acceptance testing can mean one of two things:
A smoke test is used as a build acceptance test prior to further testing, e.g., before integration or regression.
Acceptance testing performed by the customer, often in their lab environment on their own hardware, is known as user acceptance testing (UAT). Acceptance testing may be performed as part of the hand-off process between any two phases of development.
Alpha testing:
Alpha testing is simulated or actual operational testing by potential users/customers or an independent test team at the developers’ site
.
Alpha testing is often employed for off-the-shelf software as a form of internal acceptance testing before the software goes to beta testing.
Beta testing
Beta testing comes after alpha testing and can be considered a form of external user acceptance testing. Versions of the software, known as beta versions, are released to a limited audience outside of the programming team known as beta testers.
The software is released to groups of people so that further testing can ensure the product has few faults or bugs. Beta versions can be made available to the open public to increase the feedback field to a maximal number of future users and to deliver value earlier, for an extended or even indefinite period of time (perpetual beta).
