Testing constitutes one of the most important aspects of software development or most important phase in the software development life cycle. Out of many different types of software testing, acceptance testing is a test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met. The acceptance testing is defines as: formal testing with respect to user needs, requirements, and business processes conducted to determine whether a system satisfies the acceptance criteria and to enable the user, customers or other authorized

The Main purpose of testing is to check that software meets all specified requirements that guided its design and development. There are many types of software testing techniques that can be performed with in software development life cycle. Out of many software testing techniques, Acceptance testing (AT) is the key feature of software implementation. As the acceptance testing mainly constituents that the system should be acceptable by its owner or user it is also called as User Acceptance Testing (UAT). UAT is performed to ensure that the new system meets all the essential user requirements. It is the final testing activity performed by the customer to test for the completeness, correctness and consistency of the …show more content…
The section III contains Types of Acceptance Testing. In the next section IV contains the most important things that provides the information about frameworks used for acceptance testing, some of them support automation testing also.
Section V contains the advantages of acceptance testing. Final section concluded the paper.
II. Objectives of Testing
The objective of testing is to provide confidence that the developed product meets both the functional and non-functional requirements. It should detect all the possibilities of error that is present in the current developed system and the possibility of coming in the future. As the paper mainly focuses on the Acceptance testing the objective behind (AT) is, the purpose of conducting acceptance testing is that once completed, and provided the acceptance criteria are met, it is expected the sponsors will sign-off on the product development/enhancement as satisfying the defined requirements.
The point wise description of all the objectives of testing from all types to the Acceptance Testing is [4]:
• A good test case is one that should have the probability of finding an as yet undiscovered
The Papanicolaou test in medical terms can also be known as or be called as the Pap smear, pap test, or smear test. It is a microscopic examination of cell .The purpose of this test is to perceive occurring of precancerous or existing cancerous cells in the opening uterus of the cervix. It also discerns asymmetry in the cells of the cervix (the bottom, narrow end of the uterus.)[1]
1. State why it is a good idea to test a module in isolation from other modules and why different modules making up a software product are almost never integrated simultaneously?
-The test consists of multiple choice questions on content area. Written responses are also used. Labs are used
Check: Measuring how effective the test solution was, and analyzing whether it could be improved in any
There are many solutions to these problems, but none of them are easily implemented. Each area of testing should be heavily modified. In math, for example, there is a str...
Testing is one of the important methods to boost the confidence of the developers in the reliability of software. Sometimes, programs that are not properly tested perform correct for few months and even years too before some input sets shows the presence of critical errors. Incorrect application that is released to public without fully tested could result in client dissatisfaction and moreover it is important for software in applications that it is free of software faults which might lead to heavy economic loss or even endanger lives. In the past durations, systematic ways to software testing procedures and tools have been developed to avoid many problems. Testing is the most usual technique for fault detection in today’s organization. Main aim of application testing is to boost one's confidence in the correctness of the program being tested.
Before learning the methods from the computer tutorial, I was confused about certain test. B...
The system development life cycle, also know as the SDLC, is the process of designing and developing a system or software to meet certain requirements. (“System development life,”). This cycle involves many different phases, in which the system is planned, analyzed, designed, implemented, and tested. There are five major phases in the system development life cycle: systems planning, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, and systems security and support. Each of these phases has a particular responsibility and certain tasks are perfumed in each phase.
This article discuss about a requirement elicitation process in the context of why, what, who, when and how. First, elaborating why should be there a requirement elicitation process, secondly what sort of requirements and types need to be defined at various levels, who are the stakeholders and how to get them involved in this process, When the requirement elicitation process should happen during the Software development life cycle and Finally how to analysis, specifying , validate requirements during requirement validation process by using various techniques .
A test can be defined as a procedure intended to establish the quality, performance, or reliability of something, especially before it is taken into widespread use. As a society, people are tested at every stage in life whether it be a written or a practical exam. Since our first year in an educational institution, we are tested at least once a week for every subject we study. We continue these vital practices of testing all the way through schooling into lifetime careers. Testing is a way for the teacher or other higher position to assess the level of skill and mastery one has over a given material. This task is important to determine if the person is qualified for the next step or a next career. Arguably, the most important careers require
To make sure that the system is success to help improving the business, I carried out some tests to evaluate the product. I tested the system based on the method of testing and compared the results with the design specifications. Based on the method of testing, the first test is to check if I have provided more than 20 dummies data in the system. According to the result of the system, there is 43 dummies data in the product. That means my system can be categorized as success in the first test. The next test, I asked the employees if the system is hard or not to use and unfortunately most of them said that it is quite hard and confusing. In the design specification, it also written that I need to asked the...

Software development follows a specific life cycle that starts with designing a solution to a problem and implementing it. Software testing is part of this software life cycle that involves verifying if each unit implemented meets the specifications of the design. Even with careful testing of hundreds or thousands of variables and code statements, users of software find bugs. “Software testing is arguably the least understood part of the development process” and is also a “time-consuming process that requires technical sophistication and proper planning” (Whittaker 71) It is important to comprehend this concept by understanding the different characteristics and aspects of software testing, and then to examine the techniques, procedures and tools used to apply this concept. This will enable the user to realize the problems faced by software testers and the importance of software testing.
