Acceptance Testing

Testing the system with the intent of confirming readiness of the product and customer acceptance.


This type of testing falls on the black box side of testing spectrum. Acceptance testing is when the final customer or user does their own testing. This is most common when a software development company is contracted to develop a software application for another company. The software development company develops and tests the software and then gives it to the purchasing company who then tests to see if the software produced meets their needs. This testing is often not as thorough as some of the other testing, but often reveals a lot of defects that are mainly caused be requirements not being clearly understood by the development team.
