WHAT IS USERACCEPTANCE TESTING?
User Acceptance Testing
User acceptance testing (UAT) is the last phase of the software testing process.
During UAT, actual software users test the software to make sure it can handle required tasks in real-world scenarios, according to specifications.
UAT is one of the final and critical software project procedures that must occur before newly developed software is rolled out to the market.
User Acceptance Testing
User acceptance testing (UAT), otherwise known as Beta, Application, or End-User Testing, is considered the last phase in the web development process.
…the one before final installation of the software on the client site, or final distribution of it.
The Goal of UAT?
The goal of User Acceptance Testing is to assess if the system can support day-to-day business and user scenarios and ensure the system is sufficient and correct for business usage.

10 prerequisites that must be met
6. Regression Testing should be completed with no major defects
7. All the reported defects should be fixed and tested
8. Traceability matrix for all testing should be completed
9. UAT Environment must be ready
10.Sign off mail or communication from System Testing Team that the system is ready for UAT execution
How to get started?
Normally, UAT consists of four steps.
(But it can vary, based on whether the application is being delivered to a single customer, or whether it’s intended to be off-the-shelf-software.)
How to get started?1. Define criteria by which the software
is considered to be “working
2. Create a set of UAT test cases
3. Run UAT tests
4. Record and evaluate
WHO SHOULD BE INVOLVED?
Who should be involved?
1. Your “real” end users and people who will use your software
2. Every other role and stakeholder group
3. Further peer groups
