What are the three types of user testing?
Answer: In practice, there are three different types of user testing:
1. Alpha testing, where users of the software work with the development team to test the software at the developer’s site.
2. Beta testing, where a release of the software is made available to users to allow them to experiment and to raise problems that they discover with the system developers.
3. Acceptance testing, where customers test a system to decide whether or not it is ready to be accepted from the system developers and deployed in the customer environment.
