[edit] "Post release"?

I mightn't be familiar enough with the practice, but I generally don't think of alphas and betas as "post" release testing. To me, post-release testing applies to things like patches and other updates. If the software has been released to the client for general use, then it's not really an alpha/beta anymore, just an undertested and potentially unstable initial release. "Releasing" an alpha/beta to, say, an executive for testing is still considered pre-release. Am I wrong? Ham Pastrami (talk) 21:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

You are right, I moved now info on alpha and beta testing into 'Pre-release' testing section. Andreas Kaufmann (talk) 20:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

software testing is the process to find the correctness as well as the defects in the software application. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.109.27 (talk) 04:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
