Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beta tests are typically the second phase of testing in a software development cycle and come after alpha tests. Alpha tests are the first phase of testing and are typically done in-house by the developers before releasing the software to a larger group of external users for the beta test. Gamma testing is not a common type of testing, and copy testing typically refers to advertising or marketing research, not software testing. Pilot testing is a type of beta test that is done with a smaller group of users before releasing the software to a larger group. However, it is not a prerequisite for a beta test, so the best answer is still B.
