lõppkasutustestide

Lõppkasutustestid, known in English as end-user testing or user acceptance testing (UAT), are a crucial phase in the software development lifecycle. This stage involves the intended users of a system testing the software in a realistic environment to ensure it meets their business needs and requirements before it is deployed. The primary goal of lõppkasutustestid is to validate that the system performs as expected from the user's perspective and that it is fit for purpose.

These tests are typically conducted by the end-users themselves, or by representatives acting on their behalf, rather than by developers or dedicated QA testers. This approach leverages the users' intimate knowledge of their workflows and business processes to identify any discrepancies or usability issues that might have been overlooked during earlier testing phases. Lõppkasutustestid focus on functionality, usability, performance, and security, all within the context of real-world scenarios.

The process usually begins after system testing and integration testing have been completed. A formal test plan is often created, outlining the test cases, scenarios, and expected outcomes. Users execute these test cases, document any defects or issues encountered, and provide feedback. Successful completion of lõppkasutustestid signifies that the software is ready for deployment, as it has been validated by the very people who will be using it daily. This user-centric validation significantly reduces the risk of post-launch problems and increases user satisfaction.
