While the first two are common enough, their meanings might seem blurred or even synonymous. In practice each of these actions is different, though related. Troubleshooting is the bane of the end-user and customer support technician, and begins when software or hardware does not perform as expected, giving an unanticipated or otherwise unsatisfactory result.

Testing identifies bugs or imperfections so that they can be corrected in the debugging process, before the [next] official release of the product. These unofficial releases are known as beta releases (e.g. 3.0b), and public volunteers are known as beta testers. Debugging is the forte of programmers and developers, and involves fixing the very code of the software to eliminate errors or bugs. Developers attempt to replicate beta-reported bugs on in house systems for the purpose of eliminating them.
