As the first letter of the alphabet, Alpha as a Greek numeral came to represent the number 1. Therefore, Alpha, both as a symbol and term, is used to refer to the "first", or "primary", or "principal" (most significant) occurrence or status of a thing.

Leader/alpha strategy, which is all about creating a product that leads the market. Challenger/quality strategy, where your product challenges the current market leader by offering an improved product experience.

Alpha is the first Greek letter. It is based on the Hebrew word aleph, which comes from the word eleph, meaning “ox.” Beta is the second Greek letter. It comes from the Hebrew beth, meaning “house.”

It means that the first name can only contain alphabet letters. It can't contain numbers (like one name I saw on a forum, L8on [ for “Leighton”]), symbols [like Prince's symbol, for example), or special punctuation (like José, François, Siân, KŠthe, Nuñez, Jokūbas, Chloë, María, Hans-Otto, or Sørina).

Alpha is an experimental stage. It's an opportunity to use prototypes to work out the right thing to build. In Alpha stage you test the hypotheses that you reached at the end of Discovery stage.

Alpha testing is the first end-to-end testing of a product to ensure it meets the business requirements and functions correctly. It is typically performed by internal employees and conducted in a lab/stage environment. An alpha test ensures the product really works and does everything it's supposed to do.

Scientists frequently use alpha to mean the first item in a list or series, or the most important item in a group. An uppercase alpha looks identical to a capital A, while the lowercase version is similar but not identical to a small a: α.

An alpha male is typically described as the dominant and most influential member of a social group. The alpha mentality is strong, confident, assertive, and in control of his environment.

The alpha stage is when the product is first created and is usually only available to a small group of people, such as the product's developers and testers. The beta stage is when the product is released to a larger group of people, such as the general public, for testing and feedback.

Purpose. Alpha testing aims to test the quality of the functionality and internal mechanics of the product. It enables the development team to immediately resolve any defects and bugs before the product reaches end users. Beta testing, on the other hand, is performed in the production environment.
