What do you mean by beta testing?

Beta testing is a phase in the software development process where a product is released to a limited group of users outside the development team. This phase allows real users to test the software in real-world conditions, providing feedback on functionality, usability, and bugs. The goal is to identify issues before the product is released to a wider audience, ensuring a more polished and reliable final product.

Who will perform beta testing?

Beta testing is done by end users, such as volunteers, customers, focus groups, or employees. These testers help identify bugs, provide feedback on functionality, and assess the product in real-world conditions before the official release. The goal is to refine the product based on user input and ensure it’s ready for a wider audience.

What is alpha and beta testing?

Alpha testing is the initial phase of formal testing, conducted internally by the development or QA team. It often involves white-box testing techniques to identify bugs early in a controlled environment. Beta testing, on the other hand, follows alpha testing and involves a broader group of external users who test the software in real-world conditions, helping uncover issues that may not have been detected during internal testing.

What is smoke testing and sanity testing?

Smoke Testing is a preliminary test to check whether the basic functionality of a software build is working. It’s often referred to as a “build verification” test, ensuring the application is stable enough for further testing. If it fails, the build is rejected. Sanity Testing is a focused, more specific test to verify that particular functionality or bug fix works as expected after changes are made to the software. It is usually done when a new build or patch is released to check if the specific issue has been resolved without affecting other parts of the software.
