Overview
User acceptance testing is a phase of the software development process, in which the software is subject to scrutiny by the intended users of the application. It is typically performed by either an internal user acceptance test team, or by engaging volunteers from the business.The experiences of the user acceptance testers are essential to provide feedback to the development team as to whether that application meets the user requirement for the system. It is typically the final phase of testing prior to deployment of the application, and frequently used as contractual signoff for handover of the application.
The course is intended for attendees that are relatively new to the testing area, and has particular emphasis on training attendees from the non-technical business areas on the expectations of their UAT role when participating in the software development process.
