Acceptance Testing
Acceptance testing is a process used in software development and project management to verify that a product, system, or service meets the required specifications and is ready for use by the end-users or clients. There are several types of acceptance testing, including user acceptance testing (UAT), operational acceptance testing (OAT), and contract acceptance testing, each focusing on different aspects of the product’s performance and compliance with requirements.
Example
Before launching a new online banking system, the bank might conduct user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure that the system is easy to use and meets all the necessary security and functional requirements.
