Beta testing
Beta testing is the final preliminary testing stage. As a rule, it is performed by real users to ensure that the product has few bugs or faults. They are external users who may be the customers, clients or end users – the intended audience for the software, not employees of the company. The product is sent outside the organization to receive feedback on the product’s quality. Beta testing is often referred to as a user acceptance testing done outside the testing environment for real world exploitation.
Your site will be tested at user’s own locations in the absence of the development team. The real customers will be trying your product out to identify defects in it before it is marketed. Beta testing aids in building confidence to release the product and is instrumental to the success of this product in the market.
