UAT
(User Acceptance Testing)
Real users checking that a system supports their needs before it is formally accepted
What's it for?
Lets real business users confirm that new software actually works for the job they need to do.
For example…
Before a new expenses system goes live, finance staff use it to submit, approve and pay sample expenses and confirm that it works as they expect
Finance users perform UAT by entering invoices, rejecting one and confirming the resulting approval and accounting behaviour matches how they need to work
Think of it like…
