Mention what is the difference between Beta and Pilot testing?

Beta Testing: It is the testing of the product/system in user environment. All the end users will use the product and xcheck if it is working as per the given requirements. It is done after pilot testing is successful and the defects reported in pilot testing were fixed.

Pilot Testing: In this a group of end users will try the system prior to the deployment and will share their feedback on the basis of its performance. It is done in development environment.

What is the purpose of having a test plan document?

We create a test plan because it helps us to think through the efforts needed to validate the acceptability of a software product. It will help people outside the test group to understand the why and how of product validation. It describes the objectives, scope, approach and focus of the software testing effort.

When do you start and stop testing?

Testing should be start as early as possible. From the requirement gathering phase the testing should start.

Testing can be stopped if testing deadlines are met, completion of test case execution, management decision, etc.
