Alpha testing
Alpha testing is a phase in software development where a product is tested internally by the developers and a select group of users before it is released to the public. Its primary goal is to identify and fix bugs or issues. During this stage, testers use the software in real-world scenarios to ensure it meets quality standards and functions correctly. This early testing helps improve the product's reliability and usability, allowing developers to make necessary adjustments before moving on to beta testing, where a wider audience tests the software for further feedback.
