This meeting focused on the state-of-the-art for development of the date palm platform and the pilot operation of the whole system in the real world. It included the evaluation of the processes and protocols that were developed along with the usage of the e-platform to support research, technology, and innovation related to the date palm. Alpha testing is a type of software testing performed to identify bugs before releasing the product to real users or to the public. This is referred to as alpha testing only because it is done early on, near the end of the development of the software. Alpha testing is commonly performed by homestead software engineers or quality assurance staff. It is the last testing stage before the software is released into the real world through a beta version. The meeting covered important components such as functional testing, usability testing, interface testing, and compatibility testing. The meeting aimed to monitor testing and verify the composition of the system under a real-time operating conditions. The purpose is to ascertain that the software requirements are met and the system is complete and to determine that the function of the software is proper and consistent with the environment for which it is intended.
