Topic: USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING

Message


   In this type 
    of testing, the software is handed over to the user in order to find out if 
    the software meets the user expectations and works as it is expected to. In 
    software development, user acceptance testing (UAT) - also called beta 
    testing, application testing, and
    
    end user 
    testing - is a phase of software development in which the software is tested 
    in the "real world" by the intended audience. UAT can be done by in-house 
    testing in which volunteers or paid test subjects use the software or, more 
    typically for widely-distributed software, by making the test version 
    available for downloading and free trial over the Web. The experiences of 
    the early users are forwarded back to the developers who make final changes 
    before releasing the software commercially.

ALPHA 
    TESTING:
In this type 
    of testing, the users are invited at the development center where they use 
    the application and the developers note every particular input or action 
    carried out by the user. Any type of abnormal behavior of the system is 
    noted and rectified by the developers.

BETA 
    TESTING:
In this type 
    of testing, the software is distributed as a beta version to the users and 
    users test the application at their sites. As the users explore the 
    software, in case if any exception/defect occurs that is reported to the 
    developers. Beta testing comes after alpha testing. Versions of the 
    software, known as
    
    beta versions, 
    are released to a limited audience outside of the company. The software is 
    released to groups of people so that further testing can ensure the product 
    has few faults or
    
    bugs. 
    Sometimes, beta versions are made available to the open public to increase 
    the
    
    feedback 
    field to a maximal number of future users.
