alfaversiot
Alfaversiot are early software builds released to a restricted audience to test new features and the overall architecture before broader beta testing. They are part of the software development lifecycle and are typically feature-incomplete and unstable. Alfaversiot may be distributed internally within a company or to a small set of external partners or developers under non-disclosure agreements. Documentation is often limited, and data created in an alfaversio environment may not be preserved or may be wiped after testing.
The main purpose of alfaversiot is to validate core concepts, identify critical defects, and gather feedback
In the release lifecycle, alfaversiot are typically followed by beta versions, which are more stable and intended
