user acceptance testing (uat)
TRANSCRIPT
It’s not just hunt and peck
Measures compliance with business requirements
A means to determine if the system is "done”
QA & UAT are not the same UAT = Validation = It meets user needs QA = Verification = It meets a
specification
Requirements + Business Process = Test Cases
Test Cases + Test Plan + Execution = UAT
Requirements-based test cases Based on business requirements
Business process-based test cases Based on workflow or business process
Data-driven test cases Based on script that drive data through the
system
Best Practice: A combination of all three approaches
Functionality being tested Inputs Expected results Actual results Go/No-Go status + Rectification
strategy Test date and time Tester
Early and often Post unit and system testing Have test data to support the test
plan. Create a chronological test plan. Don’t start testing without a test plan. Follow the tests in the test plan. Did I mention having a test plan?
