Key Features:
- End User Involvement: Actual users participate in testing the system.
- Real-World Scenarios: Tests are based on typical usage patterns and business processes.
- Validation of Requirements: Confirms that all specified requirements have been met.
Benefits:
- Reducing post-release defects
- Enhancing user satisfaction
- Ensuring that the system aligns with business goals
Successful UAT leads to greater confidence in the software’s readiness for deployment.
