User Acceptance Test
1. Definition
The purpose of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is to ensure that the solution by the project meets the functional and non-functional requirements specified in the business requirements. UAT may also identify issues that have not been specified in the BRD such as those relating to usability. UAT is the final step before rolling out the solution. UAT is typically carried out by end users in an environment that closely models the real world. A well-managed UAT process will give the Project Sponsor, project team and end users confidence that the solution being delivered meets the requirements.
This document outlines the plan for UAT of the project deliverables. This document is a high level guide and will initially be developed during requirements gathering as part of the Business Analysis stage. Detailed test scripts/cases will be developed as part of the UAT Plan and will be used to record the results of user testing. Testing itself and the formal recording of UAT results takes place during the Acceptance stage.
