Answer to Question 1

The types of tests performed during alpha testing include the following:
 Recovery testingforces the software (or environment) to fail in order to verify that recovery is properly performed.
 Security testingverifies that protection mechanisms built into the system will protect it from improper penetration.
 Stress testingtries to break the system (e.g., what happens when a record is written to the database with incomplete information or what happens under extreme online transaction loads or with a large number of concurrent users).
 Performance testingdetermines how the system performs in the range of possible environments in which it may be used (e.g., different hardware configurations, networks, operating systems, and so on); often the goal is to have the system perform with similar response time and other performance measures in each environment.
