Programs created for mass distribution often have two stages of testing: an internal onsite test and one or more rounds of outside tests (called ____).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beta tests are outside tests where the program is distributed to a group of potential users for further testing and feedback. A is incorrect because benchmark tests are used to measure performance, not for program testing. B is incorrect because bug tests are part of the testing process, but not specifically related to mass distribution. C is incorrect because alpha tests are conducted by internal testers, not outside groups.
