User Acceptance Testing

User acceptance testing (UAT) involves real end users testing a system to determine if it meets their needs. UAT follows alpha and beta testing and occurs before a system goes live. The UAT process involves planning test cases, executing tests, documenting results, evaluating findings, and creating reports and lessons learned. Establishing acceptance criteria, defining test scopes, and having the right testing team are key to a successful UAT.
