User acceptance testing and test cases

Posted by VIKAS Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Q- What's the purpose of acceptance testing? Can we use the same test cases of system testing for acceptance testing?

A- Let's take a look at the first part of the question –"What is the purpose of acceptance testing?" The purpose is to give the end-user a chance to give the development team feed back as to whether or not the software meets their needs. Ultimately, it's the user that needs to be satisfied with the application, not the testers, managers or contract writers.

Which leads us to the second part of the question – "Can we use the same test cases for system testing and acceptance testing." Sometimes Yes and sometimes No
There is a tester put the effort of developing user acceptance test cases.
• Develop the UAT test cases
• Write Test Cases
• Write Test detailed scripts including test data
• Ask Users to check boxes on those scripts as pass or fail
