hyväksymistestein

Hyväksymistestaus, often referred to by its Finnish term hyväksymistestaus, is a systematic process used in software development and other project management contexts to verify that a system meets the agreed-upon requirements and is ready for deployment. It is typically the final phase of testing before a product or system is released to end-users or delivered to a client. The primary goal is to gain confidence that the system fulfills its intended purpose and satisfies the business needs.

This type of testing is often performed by the end-users or the client, or at least in close collaboration with them. This distinguishes it from other testing phases like unit testing, integration testing, or system testing, which are usually conducted by the development or quality assurance teams. The focus of hyväksymistestaus is on the "big picture" – does the system work as expected from a user's perspective and does it deliver the business value it was designed to provide?

There are generally two main types of acceptance testing: User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and Business Acceptance Testing (BAT). UAT is performed by the intended end-users to ensure the system is usable and meets their daily operational needs. BAT, on the other hand, is conducted by stakeholders or business representatives to confirm that the system aligns with broader business objectives and strategic goals. Successful completion of hyväksymistestaus signifies that the project has met its acceptance criteria and is ready for formal acceptance and deployment.
