User acceptance testing (UAT)

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the part where your customers take your precious, supposedly flawless product and try to break it—or rather, make sure it works like you promised it would. Think of it as inviting people to your home, watching them hunt for dust bunnies and hoping they don't find any, because if they do, guess who's back to cleaning? That's right, your development team.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is the final phase in the software testing process, where end-users validate the functionality and usability of a system or application against business requirements. It aims to ensure the system meets the needs and expectations of its intended users, confirming the software's readiness for deployment. UAT involves executing test scenarios in a real-world environment, identifying any discrepancies or issues from a user perspective, and providing feedback for necessary modifications. This stage serves as a critical assurance step, bridging the gap between development and the live launch, to reduce post-release problems.
