User Acceptance Testing(UAT):

- It is a testing done basically by the client or the client representative whether to accept the product or not.
- To check if the product is designed as per the business requirements specified by the client.
- It is the final stage of the project.

Beta Testing:
- Versions of Software, known as beta versions are released to limited audiance outside the company. It  is released to groups of people so that further testing can ensure the product has few faults or bugs. It is made available to the open public to get the feedback on the software.

User Acceptance Testing: The goal of acceptance testing is to establish confidence in the system. Acceptance testing is focuses on validation type of testing, determine whether the system is fit for purpose. Finding defects should not be the main focus in acceptance testing. 
 Beta testing:  Tests take place at the customer’s site (under real world working conditions).

Usually User Acceptance Testing is done before releasing the product at developers - place in the presence of Client and relevant people like tester, developer, architect,.. and where as Beta is done after the release and also in the absence of Tester and other related people and there is a possibility of Bug leakage in case of any bugs and is done with different test data and their test cases.
