Best Answer

When you write software then the first attempt at a finished product will be called the "alpha" version. This will then be passed to the bug testing, quality control, user feedback teams for field testing. On the basis of the feedback, the bugs found will be corrected and modifications made and a new version of the product will be produced called the "beta" version. This will then be sent out/released to selected users in the wider community for field testing and a period of bug correction/modification will follow until finally a "released" or "final" version of the product is produced and marketed to the community.

The beta level is the probability that you will wrongly retain the null hypothesis (false negative). Software that is under development, unstable or still being tested is referred to as being 'in alpha' or 'in beta'. Alpha usually denotes a 'developer release' only. Software moves out of alpha into beta stage when it is ready for wider 'bug' (error) testing by the average user. Software deemed reliable and bug-free then moves out of beta into general release.
