Beta Testing

Beta tests involve allowing 10 to 1000 users to test a software product daily in a real-world environment to uncover bugs before public release. Developers and QA teams work to fix bugs found during beta testing. A beta test example is Google Chrome, which was in beta for 5 years before public release. Beta tests give products a real-world test scenario to uncover more bugs at lower cost than wider release.

1) Users (all stakeholders)(10 to 1000 users)


2) Developer
3) QA team along with the testing team

Venue: User is given the software to test daily life. Often user is required to submit bugs and
experience to the developer.

The sequence in user acceptance testing is:

Alpha tests -> Beta tests -> other tests -> deployment and maintenance

A real life example of beta testing would be Google Chrome, the world’s most popular and fastest
browser.

It remained in beta testing phase for some 5 years before it was released to the general public for
use (stable builds).

Beta tests are a perfect way for a product to test out before deploying to a larger user base where
failures may cost much more.

A typical test case for a product in beta test may look like below –
