User Acceptance Testing Methodology

But then, they are mostly left alone until after all of the testing by the IT department is complete and the software is “ready for UAT” as shown in the figure below -

Traditional UAT

The flaw in the traditional approach is that it consistently asks the users to settle for what they are given because so many resources have already gone into making sure a system works as it does. By the time the users first try the new system, so little time is left before deployment that any modification is seen as a great burden that the user community needs to justify. The result is suboptimal software, negative perceptions of the IT organization, forgone benefit to the business, and aminosity all around. In short, nobody wins when the user participation is minimized or postponed.

AppLabs UAT

AppLabs User Acceptance Testing methodology involves the users even in the production and migration phase. In our decade long experience of providing UAT, we have seen that this approach works better for our customers because it is easier, and less stressful to uncover incorrect assumption, inaccurate requirement, or unworkable approaches the first time they occur in the process.
