Testing involves two different programs: Beta & Delta. The following is a brief description of these programs.
Beta Test Program
Beta test programs provide Hewlett-Packard the opportunity to see and experience how our products perform in a customer’s environment. Beta products are functional, but the products are still in the design phase. Beta programs offer us a chance to interact with customers, gaining insight on their needs and behaviors in the use of our products.
Delta Test Program
Delta test programs provide Hewlett-Packard the opportunity to validate a product’s design in a customer’s environment. Delta focuses on the overall experience, from installation, to day-to-day use, to support and service. The idea is to identify and address customer issues and concerns before the product is introduced. Delta programs are held just prior to our products becoming available for purchase.
