What best describes how the testing of the initial version
and the testing of the beta version fit into the four stages
of the process of technological design?
Manufacturers of small computer devices, such as
smartphones, often release a "beta" version of a new
product to a small group of people so that the testers can
use it in day-to-day life and report back to the
manufacturer about how it could be further improved.
The beta version is built and released after the designers
have already built, tested, and analyzed an initial version
at their factory. The initial version is tested like a model
of the product, while the beta version is tested under
real-life conditions.
O The beta version is tested during the second stage,
when criteria are being determined, and the initial
version is tested during the third stage, when the
prototype is being analyzed.
O The initial version is tested during the first stage to
help determine what problems it has, and the beta
version is tested during the fourth stage, when results
are being reported.
O The initial version is tested during the third stage to
determine what needs to be improved, and the beta
version is tested during the fourth stage to ensure that
criteria are met.
O The initial version and the beta version are both
tested during the third stage to make sure that the
