User Acceptance Testing
Prepare your user acceptance test team for the big responsibility ahead
User acceptance testing is often the final stage of testing before product release or implementation. It presents specific challenges for starting software testers and is often the first testing experience for the subject matter experts involved. This course familiarises participants with the basic principles of software testing and equips them with the skills necessary to achieve the objective of their user acceptance test.
