- [Instructor] The techniques used in an alpha test are the core tools for assessing a product's viability and performance.

The tools you use, the test cases you design, the techniques you implement are all going to have to transform the product and transition to agile project design. Alpha projects follow specific phases of software evaluation based upon the state of the product. Typically in early development, you see white box testing, which focuses on code integrity. Later, you'll delve into more traditional black box techniques like equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, all pairs testing or cause effect graph testing.
