User Acceptance Testing Service

At KiwiQA, we offer a wide range of User Acceptance Testing Services to effectively check and provide quality assurance for your implemented software systems. Our professional QA analysts perform high-quality acceptance testing in a dynamic UAT environment, applying the best and most advanced test tools and methods, as appropriate.

Unlike other software testing processes, UAT benefits everyone connected with the software solution, including the vendor, engineering team, stakeholders, testers, and end users. Here are some benefits realized by User Acceptance Testing:

• • Client satisfaction increases as UAT provides increased confidence that the software will work as required in environment which reflects reality as closely as possible.
  • By the time that UAT takes place, the testers involved in the cycle will know the solution in depth and will understand what is required of it.
  • The vendor and client have a final opportunity to work together to ensure that business will be supported by the solution once it is released.
  • UAT is the final check of the solution prior to implementation.  It is the last opportunity for issues to be identified and managed.
  • UAT provides an opportunity for the end user to understand the upcoming release in more depth prior to its implementation.
  • Final training and documentation needs can be fulfilled before the solution is released.

Our entire process of user acceptance testing can be divided into 6 phases:

1. Business Requirements Analysis

In the first phase the business requirements are analyzed by studying documents such as the:

• Project charter.
• Process execution diagrams.
• Business Requirements Document (BRD).
• System Requirements Specification (SRS).

2. UAT Test Plan Creation

Here, we outline the strategy that will be used to verify that a system meets the business needs.

3. Test Scenario and Test Cases Identification

Test scenarios are identified and the test cases are created with clear test steps. We ensure that the test cases sufficiently cover the maximum, pragmatic, testabe UAT scenarios.

4. Test Data Preparation

Where available, live data will be used for UAT.  To alleviate security and privacy concerns, data may be obfuscated to ensure that there are no legal breaches during testing.  If live data is not available, due to privacy or security concerns, data may be generated either manually or programmatically. In some instances, data used during previous testing cycles may be used.  The business end-user will be involved in the definition and preparation of test data to be used during UAT to ensure that it adequately represents reality for the business process.

5. Running Test Cases and Recording Results

Test cases are executed, and the deviations from expectation (if any) are reported. Re-testing is performed for any bugs identified once they have been fixed. Appropriate Test Management tools are used for execution and documentation of tests and defect management.

6. Business Objectives Confirmation

Ideally, the end-user is involved in the planning, execution and reporting of UAT.  However this is performed, in agreement with the customer, all reporting will be provided to the customer for review and formal sign-off.

At KiwiQA, we offer an extensive range of User Acceptance testing services including:

• Alpha and Beta Testing

Alpha testing is generally performed in a development environment long before software is released to customers. Beta testing, or field testing, is usually performed in the users’ environment. KiwiQA offers both alpha and beta testing for your software products to give your users a seamless experience.

• Regulation Acceptance Testing

This type of User Acceptance Testing verifies that the software product complies with legislative, governance and industry standards, as appropriate, which will have been identified in the Testing Strategy and Planning stage. KiwiQA offers thorough Regulation Acceptance Testing to ensure your product is legally and ethically fit to be released to market.

• Contract Acceptance Testing

Contract Acceptance Testing is performed to check if the developed software meets the specifications and criteria defined in an agreed contract or agreement. KiwiQA offers complete Contract Acceptance Testing to make sure that developed software has been designed according to the specifications mentioned in the contract.

• Operational Acceptance Testing

We offer quality-rich Operational Acceptance Testing to make sure there are appropriate workflows readily available for the software to be easily used by the consumers.

Although Black Box testing is usually considered as Functional testing, certain principles of this type of testing are applicable in User Acceptance testing as well. We frequently use Black Box testing for our UAT efforts.
