Alpha testing - testing of an application when development is nearing completion; minor design changes may still be made as a result of such testing. Typically done by end-users or others, not by programmers or testers.

 

Acceptance testing - final testing based on specifications of the end-user or customer, or based on use by end-users/customers over some limited period of time.

Hi

Alpha testing is done for product-based software, example companies develop their own product for Banks or other organizations which are general and any organization can use those products.

UAT is done for project-based software, example projects what we get from the clients to develop software for use only by that client.

correct me if i am wrong.
