Alpha testing is not necessarily done in-house. Some companies release alpha versions to the public. Anyway, each company adopts its own software release life cycle habits. We do not follow the strict steps from pre-alpha to alpha to beta to gamma to RC to RTM to GA. We call software "alpha" or "beta" or "release" depending on our estimates of probability of complications that the software can cause. We may be wrong in our estimates. -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutin mailto:m...@ritlabs.com ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.24.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
