Testing

There will be two types of tests: automated and manual. The automated tests will be made at the same time we are developing the code. The manual tests will take place when the code is finished.
There are many different types of devices with different screen sizes. As this is only a prototype, we can focus on popular devices; however, in the Final Product we will need a lot more testing.
For these manual tests, there will be many steps to this process:
Internal Alpha
Alpha starts off extremely unstable and filled with bugs and it gets worked out through the process. Internal Alpha is meant for employees only. We all use the app and report back about the bugs we find.
Private alpha
Once the app is a little more stable we push it to the next level; here there are friends of friends, paid testers and perhaps yourself and some friends.
Limited Alpha
Here it starts to get exciting. It is not officially released but we open a channel where users can sign up to use the app with the understanding that it is not completed and they may encounter some problems.
Internal Beta
Once we feel it is up to the task, we release an internal beta. This means 5 to 10 of our employees will receive the stable version. If they don’t encounter any issues (and they shouldn't) then it’s off to the next step.
Private Beta
Once again this is for a group of testers we pay, you and your friends, and other
users we trust to provide valuable feedback.
Limited Beta
We allow a limited number of users to join.
Public Beta
Anyone can join but we can set a limit. A useful amount would be 1000 users.
Final Release
It is off to the world, anyone can snag your app!

We need to remind you that until Private Alpha all testers need to sign an NDA so your intellectual property is protected.
