Evolution requires some other mechanism to create the new codes before they are sent to alpha and beta testing via natural selection.

This would imply that evolution works based upon some design plan. This is an incredibly simplistic and false idea. Mutation and natural selection are what drive evolution, there isn't any deliberate direction or goal in the process. At least, none so far observed.

"Mutation and natural selection are what drive evolution, there isn't any deliberate direction or goal in the process. At least, none so far observed."

Perhaps an analogy can be made to the chaos of weather patterns. Because the influences cannot be predicted, the outcome cannot be predicted. This would allow for the possibility of a direction or goal, but one that we cannot presently detect.
