How Do You Create A User Acceptance Test?
A project will never attain the status of “successful” without the execution of a User Acceptance Test (UAT). The project may be considered complete and possibly within scope, time and budget, but it cannot truly be considered successful without the approval of the users who will be using the system. A well executed user acceptance test will ensure that each requirement was built and functions as expected. Adopt a formal and universal template for all of your project’s artifacts. Your readers and leaders will thank you for the ease of locating the pertinent information because it is consistently placed in the same area within each different document. Create traceability boxes on your document. These at minimum should contain the test scenario identifier that will be executed with this user acceptance test group. It also must contain the specific business requirement identifier that will be tested; and preferably, you have a use case identifier to include as well. Add descriptive text.
