Description

    Whether you are building software systems for others, or someone is building them for you, it is imperative that the software does what the end users need it to do. While the requirements are intended to say precisely what is needed, software can comply with every letter of the documented requirements and still be inappropriate for use in the real world. User Acceptance Testing (also known as UAT) prevents these unhappy surprises by ensuring that people have real knowledge of how the software will be used evaluate it against the actual business needs before it is ever deployed.
