    Alpha Testing:when the software seems stable, people who represent your market use the product in the same way that they would if they bought the finished version and give their comments.Alpha tests are performed at the developers site.
    Beta Testing:same as alpha testing but the tests are performed at the tester's site.


    Exploratory testing is nothing but ad hoc testing.

    Re: Regarding UAT

    Hi,

    Let me explain with an example:

    Suppose, you are developing a flight reservation project for Air-deccan client.
    Before delivering the project, you have to give a demo to the client about the functionality of the application.

    If the client sends some of his office staff to your office, to test the application and to get them trained, we can say it as Alpha testing.

    There is another way, you can deploy the application at client's office (Air deccan, in this case), send some technical people over there to train the staff and ask them to work on with some real time scenarios so that to analyse the defects rate. This all is done before using the application in real time. We can say this as Beta testing.

    In short, if the client comes to the development center for testing the application, it is alpha testing. on the other hand, if the application is shared with the users before formal release, is called beta testing.

    Usually beta testing is done for produts (like Yahoo! messenger Beta version)

    Regards,
    Ganesh
