Question

Which of the following can be considered beta testing? A programmer at Linus Systems checks the integration of multiple modules of an information system. System users at URP feed data into a new information system to test its capability. MNP Inc. checks the system to ensure that it meets all the necessary design requirements. Taro Inc. checks the correctness of the modules in its new information system. Software testers compare the finished system against user requirements to see if it satisfies all necessary criteria.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. System users at URP feed data into a new information system to test its capability.

Explanation:

Beta testing is one of the final steps in  the production of a technological device. In Beta testing, the end user of the product is given the product to use for a specified period of time so as to validate its functionality. Beta testing would help the company manufacturing the product to actually ascertain the level of acceptance of the product by users and also determine whether to invest in the product or limit production.

Beta testing is preceded by alpha testing. It is done before the company begins actual marketing of the product. So, when the system users at URP feed data into a new information system to test its capability, that is beta testing.
