Acceptance testing

Acceptance testing, in the context of software development, is a testing phase wherein a system is tested for acceptability to ensure that the developed software meets the specified criteria.

The primary goal of acceptance testing is to evaluate the system's compliance with the business requirements and assess whether it is acceptable for delivery. Acceptance is generally conductet on the staging system, prepared with the respective release. Our testing process is supporter and guided by our QA software.

Some key points about acceptance testing

1. User Perspective It is conducted from the user's point of view and ensures that the system does what the user expects it to do. The testing process simulates real-world scenarios to ensure the software behaves as intended.

2. Criteria Acceptance testing checks the system against predefined acceptance criteria or a set of agreed-upon conditions. These criteria are often documented in the form of user stories or use cases.

3. Outcome The outcome is typically binary in the sense of "accept" or "reject." If the software meets acceptance criteria and has no severe issues, it is accepted; otherwise, it's rejected, and feedback is provided for necessary corrections.

4. Documentation Results are documented, and based on the outcomes, a decision is made about whether the product is ready for production.

5. Environment Ideally, acceptance testing should be conducted in an environment that closely mimics the production environment.

6. Importance Acceptance testing provides confidence to stakeholders that the delivered software meets their needs. It's the final gatekeeper that ensures that only quality software gets delivered to the end-users.
