What is User Testing?


User testing is the process of checking software by real users or testers to make sure it works
correctly and meets user needs before final release.

Purpose:
- To find and fix errors.
- To check usability.
- To ensure customer satisfaction.

I Page 2: Alpha Testing


Alpha Testing
- Done by: Internal team (developers or testers).
- When: Before releasing the product to real users.
- Goal: To find bugs and fix them early inside the company.

Example:
A company creates a new shopping app. Before giving it to the public, the testing team inside the
company checks for bugs, design issues, and performance problems.

I Page 3: Beta Testing


Beta Testing
- Done by: Real users outside the company.
- When: After alpha testing and before final release.
- Goal: To collect real-world feedback and find issues missed in alpha testing.

Example:
A game company releases a beta version of a new game to a small group of players. They play and
report problems like lag, crashes, or gameplay bugs.

I Page 4: Acceptance Testing


Acceptance Testing
- Done by: Clients or end users (the customer who requested the software).
- When: After beta testing, before official delivery.
- Goal: To check if the software meets all user requirements.
Example:
A bank orders custom software to manage accounts. Before accepting it, the bank staff tests all
features to confirm they work correctly.
