AT/CBT/OBT

Explanation on the terms on the title are as follows...

"The alpha testing phase is in a way similar to your mother or whoever your caretaker is selecting the ingredients from the supermarket, s/he would have to check the expiry date, freshness and how is s/he going to cook it.

The closed beta test is the cooking phase, the food isn't completely ready and your mother/caretaker would usually do a taste test before distributing it to the family on the dinner table. If it doesn't turn out well then she would have to make something different, apply some herbs and spices or cook up something completely different; unless of course s/he is irresponsible and doesn't care if the food tastes bad.

The open beta test is the distribution of the food to the whole family. Since the taste test and the cooking went alright, your mother/caretaker decides to distribute the food on the table for you all. But of course you or your siblings may not like it, because there's bugs... no, because you don't like the taste or how the food looks etc. Therefore you give suggestions on how to improve the food whom your mother/caretalker (in comparison to the developers) may or may not intake.

Now I hope you get the concept behind the testing phase."
