alpha is the first release
beta is second
omega is third
and then comes final.

Alpha is basically the test release.. a select ammount of people will get to play it, they give us feedback on what they liked and what they didnt like about gameplay, level design etc etc. However, it will be reasonably un-detailed.

Beta will have taken into account what our alpha testers said and then fixed 'em.. send it to the beta testers.

Omega is final-ish. We release what we think will be all we need to do, but if anybody spots a bug, it'll get fixed.

Once completely big free, final version is released to the public.

Febuary!? Looks like you missed your deadline by a long way. But you did give yourself only a month to do this

if the testers say there is nothing wrong (no error) in Alpha then he wont be needing to make a beta :|

If there would be an omega for this mod?Then that means the mapper cannot correct the errors or the testers notice new errors each time.

so does the testers finished the beta version ?

She designed the entire game (concepts and maps), she playtests, creates textures and skins and designs the actual models themselves and finally voice acting.

...She cooks ok too. :P
