A commercial software system typically goes through three stages of testing before deployment. Which of the following correctly lists all three stages in the right order?
Correct Answer
Development testing, release testing, user testing
Explanation
The three main stages of commercial software testing are: (1) Development testing - carried out during development by designers and programmers to discover bugs; (2) Release testing - a separate team tests a complete system version before release; (3) User testing - users or potential users test the system in their own environment.
