Acceptance Test Plan {ATP}
The client at their place performs the acceptance testing. It will be very similar to the system test performed by the Software Development Unit. Since the client is the one who decides the format and testing methods as part of acceptance testing, there is no specific clue on the way they will carry out the testing. But it will not differ much from the system testing. Assume that all the rules, which are applicable to system test, can be implemented to acceptance testing also.

A sample Test Plan Outline along with their description is as shown below:

Test Plan Outline
1.   BACKGROUND – This item summarizes the functions of the application system and the tests to be performed.
2.   INTRODUCTION

6.   FEATURES NOT TO BE TESTED - Explicitly lists each feature, function, or requirement which won't be tested and why not.
7.   APPROACH - Describe the data flows and test philosophy.
