试点测试和 Alpha 测试之间的区别

试点测试：
试点测试是一种软件测试类型，其中一组用户在最终启动或部署软件之前完全使用该软件。该测试在实时操作条件下验证系统的一个组件或整个系统。试点测试的目的是评估研究项目的可行性、时间、成本、风险和绩效。

阿尔法测试：
Alpha 测试是一种软件测试，用于在将产品发布给真实用户或公众之前识别错误。 Alpha 测试是用户验收测试之一。
这被称为 alpha 测试只是因为它是在软件开发接近尾声的早期完成的。 Alpha 测试通常由宅基地软件工程师或质量保证人员执行。这是软件发布到现实世界之前的最后一个测试阶段。

以下是试点测试和 Alpha 测试之间的一些区别：

Pilot Testing	Alpha Testing
It is performed to verify the entire system and its components.	It is performed to minimize the failure risks.
It is performed in the user (real) environment.	It is performed at developer’s site.
It is performed by selected users.	It is performed by testers who are usually internal employees of the organization.
Feedback comes from some selected users in this testing.	Feedback comes from employees in this testing.
It is done before beta testing.	It is done before pilot testing and beta testing.
Pilot testing doesn’t require long execution cycle.	Alpha testing may require long execution cycle.
Pilot doesn’t require a lab but environment is required.	Alpha testing requires a testing environment or a lab.
It is performed before the launch of product in the market.	It ensures the quality of the product before forwarding to beta testing.
