Acceptance Testing:
Acceptance testing is a type of testing that is performed to determine whether a software system meets its specified requirements and is acceptable for delivery to the end-users or customers. The purpose of acceptance testing is to ensure that the software system satisfies the business requirements and is ready to be deployed to the production environment.
Acceptance testing is typically conducted by the end-users or customers in a real-world scenario. The testing may involve testing the system's functionality, performance, security, usability, and other non-functional aspects.
There are different types of acceptance testing, including:
User acceptance testing (UAT): This type of acceptance testing involves the end-users or customers testing the system to ensure that it meets their needs and requirements.
Operational acceptance testing (OAT): This type of acceptance testing focuses on the operational aspects of the system, such as its performance, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
Contract acceptance testing: This type of acceptance testing involves testing the system against the contractual requirements and specifications.
Regulatory acceptance testing: This type of acceptance testing involves testing the system against the regulatory standards and requirements.
Acceptance testing is an important part of the software development life cycle (SDLC) as it helps to ensure that the system meets the stakeholders' expectations and requirements. The testing also helps to identify any defects or issues in the system that need to be addressed before the system is deployed to the production environment.
