käyttökenttätestaukset

Käyttökenttätestaukset, often translated as User Acceptance Testing (UAT), is the final phase of the software testing process. It is conducted by the end-users or clients in a realistic environment to verify that the system meets their business requirements and is ready for deployment. The primary goal of UAT is to ensure that the software functions as expected in real-world scenarios and satisfies the needs of the stakeholders.

During user acceptance testing, end-users perform various tasks and scenarios that mimic how they would typically use the software. This allows them to identify any discrepancies between the expected behavior and the actual behavior of the system. UAT is crucial because it provides an independent validation that the software is fit for purpose and meets the business objectives for which it was developed.

The process typically involves creating test cases based on user stories and business requirements. These test cases are then executed by the users, and any defects or issues encountered are reported. The development team then addresses these issues, and the cycle may repeat until the users are satisfied with the quality and functionality of the software. Successful completion of UAT signifies that the software is accepted by the users and can proceed to the production environment. It bridges the gap between the technical development and the actual business needs, ensuring a successful software implementation.
