Hi,

User acceptance Testing is mainly done by the user. In some companies every stage there were send the documents to the client for approval that type of testing is called User Aceptance Testing.

Hi All,

User Acceptance Testing, Generally we think it is done by user. But we have a wrong perception about UAT. There are different ways in which we conduct UAT. Out of which there are two ways 1) Inhouse Testing it on the production database (replica of the clients live data base) 2) Conducting the test on the Pilot site or location of client where the volume of the transaction or data is low and at the same time maximum functionality can be tested.

But the most important point to what to test in UAT?

To answer the above question, It is my suggestion to mention UAT criterias or scenarios in the SRS and BRS documents. It needs to be reviewed by the customer and approved by them. If there is no UAT criteria mentioned in SRS document then we need to consider those scenarios which are having base functionality, with out which the application delivered to the client is meaningless

User acceptance testing generally done by the client side people follows two type of testing methods 1) Alfa testing 2)Bita testing

1.Alfa testing : this type of testing we done for the projects

 Client side people comes to the company or they creates the company like environment andconduct the testing of project in presence of testing people. Client side people tests the application and tester takes the feedback fron them and report it to the development team.

2.Beta testing : this type of testing we done for the products

Release a beta version or trial version to the market and take feedback from the users.
