Alpha testing is the first phase of formal testing, during which the software is tested internally using white-box techniques. Beta testing is the next phase, in which the software is tested by a larger group of users, typically outside of the organization that developed it.
Software in the experimental stage (alpha or beta) often uses a zero in the first ("major") position of the sequence to designate its status. However, this scheme is only useful for the early stages, not for upcoming releases with established software where the version number has already progressed past 0.
In most constellations, the brightest star is designated Alpha and the next brightest Beta etc. For example, the brightest star in the constellation of Centaurus is known as Alpha Centauri . For historical reasons, the Greek designations of some constellations begin with a lower ranked letter.
In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval [0, 1] or (0, 1) in terms of two positive parameters, denoted by alpha (α) and beta (β), that appear as exponents of the variable and its complement to 1, respectively, and control the shape of the distribution.
AOL Desktop is back with a new Beta! AOL's premier all-in-one software is back in beta with an ALL NEW version and we want your help to test it. Join our beta by visiting the AOL Desktop beta page to learn more about this beta and how to get involved.
Alphabeta or Alpha Beta may also refer to: Alphabeta, an Israeli musical group; Alpha Beta, a former chain of Californian supermarkets; The Greek alphabet, from Alpha (Αα) and Beta (Ββ), the first two letters; Alpha and beta anomers (chemistry) Alpha–beta pruning, a type of search algorithm
Several mistakes on Alpha cards were corrected in Beta. Alpha cards are easily distinguishable from Beta cards as unlike all succeeding sets, cards from Alpha have steeply rounded corners. This was reportedly caused by sharpening of the dies used to cut the Beta cards, which resulted in the less rounded corners. [8]
