If I recall correctly from my days in software development, alpha means feature complete; i.e., all features specified in the design documents are in place and work at least rudimentally. Beta means that all major bugs have been squashed and all features are full operational, even if not bug free. (This doesn't mean that something can't be broken later, or that a new feature can't be added. When we were beta testing Claris Emailer 2.0, the beta testers requested a new feature, which we added.) Golden Master means that the software is ready to ship, and needs only a final shakedown before release; if the shakedown discloses anything that requires fixing, it gets fixed and a new Golden Master is produced.
