The main purpose of this test is to evaluate the system&#8217;s compliance with the business requirements and verify if it has met the required criteria for delivery to end users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acceptance testing is the most important phase of testing as this decides whether the client approves the application\/software or not. It may involve functionality, usability, performance, and U.I of the application. It is also known as user acceptance testing (UAT), operational acceptance testing (OAT), and end-user testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is one of the final stages of the software&#8217;s testing cycle and often occurs before a client or customer accepts the new application. Acceptance tests are black-box system tests. Users of the system perform tests in line with what would occur in real-time scenarios and verify whether or not the software\/application meets all specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are various forms of acceptance testing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>User acceptance Testing<\/li><li>Business acceptance Testing<\/li><li>Alpha Testing<\/li><li>Beta Testing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Acceptance Testing &#8211; In SDLC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following diagram explains the fitment of acceptance testing in the software development life cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img width=\"368\" height=\"302\" src=\"http:\/\/softwaretestingtutorials.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/accepttesting.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/accepttesting.png 368w, https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/accepttesting-300x246.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The acceptance test cases are executed against the test data or using an acceptance test script and then the results are compared with the expected ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>There are two important types of this testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Alpha Testing<\/li><li>Beta Testing<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acceptance testing, a testing technique performed to determine whether or not the software system has met the requirement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[3,28],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":176,"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173\/revisions\/176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.techmaximize.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
