Whether you are building software systems for others, or someone is building them for you, it is imperative that the software does what the end users need it to do. While the requirements are intended to say precisely what is needed, software can comply with every letter of the documented requirements and still be inappropriate for use in the real world. User Acceptance Testing (also known as UAT) prevents these unhappy surprises by ensuring that people have real knowledge of how the software will be used evaluate it against the actual business needs before it is ever deployed.
This software testing training course has been designed for business managers and system users responsible for conducting user acceptance testing of systems they must depend on, as well as for system and project managers, analysts, developers, quality/testing professionals, and auditors.
This course will guide you in making UAT truly effective on your projects. It will identify the people who should be involved, the things those people should be doing, and when and how those activities should be done. If you are a member of a development team, this course will help you to make the best possible use of UAT in your development projects. If you are a customer or end user, it will equip you to be an effective user acceptance tester.
Part 1: What UAT Is and Is Not
Part 2: Understanding the Business Need
Part 3: What Could Go Wrong?
Part 4: "U" is for User
Part 5: Incremental UAT
Part 6: Preparing Test Data
Part 7: The Acceptance Test Plan
Part 8: Performing UAT
Part 9: "A" is For Acceptance
We will finish with a discussion of deciding if the system is acceptable or not. We will explore this both from each tester's perspective, and for UAT as a whole. Along the way, we will talk about "minor" defects, unresolved issues, and what it means for the system to be "good enough" in a particular context
