-Beta testing is the external testing process in which the software is dent out to potential customers who use it in a real world environment. Beta testing usually occurs toward the end of the developementcycle.should be a vallidation that the software is ready to release.
-UAT is done by customeror his aagent. some uat do more verification others do more validation. uat is always black box testing.

- 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.

RE: What is the basic difference between user acceptance & beta testing when both testing are done by end user.
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.
