Do you use the testing stage, in the file name?

When moving through the different stages of testing i.e. from internal testing, through to UAT, you should suffix the application name with the appropriate stage:

Stage	Testing Description	Naming Convention
Alpha	Developer testing with project team	Northwindv2-3alpha.exe
Beta	Internal “Test Please" testing with non-project working colleagues	Northwindv2-3beta.exe
Production e.g.	When moving onto production, this naming convention is dropped	Northwind_v2-3.exe
