What is beta testing?

Beta testing, a pivotal phase within User Acceptance Testing, is conducted before software release and operates as a form of Field Test. Positioned at the end of the software testing life cycle, this external user acceptance testing involves real users. It follows alpha testing and involves releasing a new software version to a select audience for evaluation of accessibility, usability, functionality, and more.


How can beta testing help you in your software development journey?

Beta Testing comes with an amazing set of features. Here are some of them:

  1. Conducted in the user's actual environment, beta testing offers a genuine assessment of software quality.
  2. The client, stakeholders, and end-users actively participate in the testing process.
  3. Characterized as black-box testing,it focuses on the software's external behavior.
  4. It occurs in the absence of a dedicated tester but with the direct involvement of real users.
  5. Primarily employed for evaluating software products such as utilities, operating systems, and applications, beta testing is a common practice.
