Acceptance Testing
Definition of Acceptance Testing as it relates to Software, Software Testing, System Testing
Acceptance testing verifies that the system meets specified business requirements and is ready for delivery to end users. It occurs after functional and non-functional testing and ensures that the system is not only fully functional but also aligned with user needs and expectations. This process often involves user acceptance tests (UAT) where actual end users validate the system's functionality, usability, and performance in a real-world context. Acceptance testing ultimately serves as a final quality checkpoint before deployment, ensuring that the system is ready for productive use and can deliver value to its intended audience.
