Course Description

All too often the software products delivered to the business do not meet their expectations, especially with regard to the quality of the product.  An effective User Acceptance Testing (UAT) process addresses this issue by confirming the functionality and performance of the product prior to its release.  This workshop looks at the business issues which drive the need for a fully functional UAT process and describes the components of such a process.  It is designed to help the Business Analyst (BA) to develop an understanding of their role, the process, and the deliverables associated with UAT.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop an understanding about basic concepts associated with User Acceptance Testing

  • See how UAT applies to the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)

  • Recognize benefits of improved quality of deployed software using User Acceptance Testing

  • Use a Business Use Case to define scenarios for testing

  • Create a UAT test plan and write UAT test cases with associated test data

  • Understand the process for testing functional and non-functional requirements

  • Identify the challenges of testing vendor-supplied applications
