Explanation

Alpha testing is conducted before release at the developer's site by a limited group of potential users or market representatives. This differs from beta testing, which occurs after alpha at users' own locations with a broader audience. Alpha allows developers to observe and guide testing directly, while beta provides more realistic usage conditions.
