There are many stages to the development of a games, the main 3 of which are called Alpha, Beta and Gold Master. The 3 Milestones are as follows:
Alpha is the stage after which all the foundations of the design are layed down and the key features are completed. At this stage the game should look like a basic form of it's finished product. Alpha is used as a base to work and implement improvements to during the next stage.
Beta is the second major milestone in development. During the Beta testing bugs/glitches are corrected and the code should be completed. There should be no more changes at Beta stage to the key elements of the game, as the game should be near finalisation at this point.
Gold Master stage is the complete game, and should contain no bugs, and the game should ideally be ready for manufacturing.
There should always be a schedual for developers to set milestones for themselves, and thus make for a smooth production process, and there should always been alloted time for problems that could end in delayed release dates- which could ultimately cause cancellation in the project.
