(Usually performed by the programmer.) 4 Integration Testing program modules in combination. Testing (Often performed by a QA specialist.) 5 User Testing performed by a User Advocate or Acceptance User Analyst during the final phase of Testing development, particularly focusing on user-interface details and performance issues. 6 Alpha Testing Comprehensive testing of the completed program by the developers (or QA specialists) according to a comprehensive test plan. 7 Beta Testing (a.k.a. "field testing") Ad hoc testing performed by a select group of users, often requiring two or three rounds. 8 Gamma Testing Final field test of the debugged program, perhaps only now being provided with completed documentation.
