Manufacturers of small computer devices, such as smartphones, often release a "beta" version of a new product to a small group of people so that the testers can use it in day-to-day life and report back to the manufacturer about how it could be further improved. The beta version is built and released after the designers have already built, tested, and analyzed an initial version at their factory. The initial version is tested like a model of the product, while the beta version is tested under real-life conditions.


What best describes how the testing of the initial version and the testing of the beta version fit into the four stages of the process of technological design?


The beta version is tested during the second stage, when criteria are being determined, and the initial version is tested during the third stage, when the prototype is being analyzed.

The initial version is tested during the first stage to help determine what problems it has, and the bet

Respuesta :

Testing of devices before the official release is an integral part of product release cycle.

The description of the initial version and the beta version is (option b):

  • The initial version is first tested
  • Followed by the beta version

The initial version of a device is also referred to as the alpha version. The initial/alpha version of the device is first tested with white-box testing technique. When the device passes this stage of product release cycle, the next release is the beta version.

The beta version is a prototype of the actual product itself; and as such, the beta version of the device is tested with obtainable conditions in real life.
