What is User Acceptance Testing? Also known as UAT or UAT testing. it's basically, a process of verifying that a solution works for the user. And the key word here, is user. This is crucial, because they’re the people who will use the software on a daily basis. There are many aspects to consider with respect to software functionality. There’s unit testing, functional testing, integration testing, and system testing, amongst many others. What Is User Acceptance Testing? I’ll keep it simple; according to Techopedia, UAT (some people call it UAT testing as well) is: User acceptance testing (UAT) is the last phase of the software testing process. During UAT, actual software users test the software to make sure it can handle required tasks in real-world scenarios, according to specifications. UAT is one of the final and critical software project procedures that must occur before newly developed software is rolled out to the market. User acceptance testing (UAT), otherwise known as Beta, Application, or End-User Testing, is often considered the last phase in the web development process, the one before final installation of the software on the client site, or final distribution of it.

9. User Acceptance Testing
User acceptance testing (UAT) is the last phase of
the software testing process.
During UAT, actual software users test the software
to make sure it can handle required tasks in real-
world scenarios, according to specifications.
UAT is one of the final and critical software project
procedures that must occur before newly developed
software is rolled out to the market.

10. User Acceptance Testing
User acceptance testing (UAT), otherwise
known as Beta, Application, or End-User
Testing, is considered the last phase in the
web development process.
…the one before final installation of the
software on the client site, or final
distribution of it.

11. The Goal of UAT?
The goal of User Acceptance Testing is to
assess if the system can support day-to-day
business and user scenarios and ensure the
system is sufficient and correct for business
usage.

12. WHEN & HOW TO START?

13. 10 prerequisites that must be met
1. Business Requirements must be available
2. Application Code should be fully developed
3. Unit Testing, Integration Testing & System Testing
should be completed
4. No Show stoppers, or High or Medium defects in
the System Integration Test Phase
5. Only Cosmetic errors are acceptable before UAT

14. 10 prerequisites that must be met
6. Regression Testing should be completed with no
major defects
7. All the reported defects should be fixed and
tested
8. Traceability matrix for all testing should be
completed
9. UAT Environment must be ready
10.Sign off mail or communication from System
Testing Team that the system is ready for UAT
execution

15. How to get started?
Normally, UAT consists of four steps.
(But it can vary, based on whether the application is being delivered to
a single customer, or whether it’s intended to be off-the-shelf-software.)

16. How to get started?
1. Define criteria by which the software is
considered to be “working
2. Create a set of UAT test cases
3. Run UAT tests
4. Record and evaluate

17. WHO SHOULD BE INVOLVED?

18. Who should be involved?
1. Your “real” end users and people who will
use your software
2. Every other role and stakeholder group
3. Further peer groups
