试点测试和 Beta 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。

Beta 测试：
Beta 测试由软件应用程序的真实用户在真实环境中执行。 Beta 测试是用户验收测试的一种。需要反馈的软件测试版发布给有限数量的产品最终用户，以获得对产品质量的反馈。 Beta 测试有助于最大限度地降低产品故障风险，并通过客户验证提高产品质量。

他试点测试和 Beta 测试的区别：

Pilot Testing	Beta Testing
It is performed to verify the entire system and its components.	It is performed to minimize the failure risks.
It is performed by selected users.	It is performed end users.
It is performed in the user (real) environment.	It is performed in development environment.
Pilot testing is performed before the launch of product in the market.	Beta testing is performed after the launch of the product.
In this testing, feedback comes from some selected users.	In beta testing, feedback comes from customer directly.
It is done before beta testing.	It is done after pilot testing.
It requires an environment or lab.	It doesn’t require an environment or lab.
This testing is done exactly between the UAT and production.	This testing is done exactly after production.
