Software Acceptance Testing Task

Context:
- input: Acceptance Tests.
- ...
- It can reference a Software Acceptance Testing Method.
- It can be associated with an Acceptance Test-Driven Development.
- …
Example(s):
- Chatbot System Acceptance Testing Task to verify conversational flow and compliance with user expectations.
- E-Commerce System Acceptance Testing Task for ensuring cart, payment, and user data handling functionality.
- Banking System Acceptance Testing Task for checking compliance with financial regulations and transaction accuracy.
- …
Counter-Example(s):
- Unit Testing, which verifies individual components in isolation.
- Regression Testing, which ensures that new changes do not negatively impact existing functionality.
- Integration Testing, which checks the interactions between different components or subsystems.

- In engineering and its various subdisciplines, acceptance testing is a test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met. It may involve chemical tests, physical tests, or performance tests. In systems engineering, it may involve black-box testing performed on a system (for example: a piece of software, lots of manufactured mechanical parts, or batches of chemical products) prior to its delivery. In software testing, the ISTQB defines acceptance testing as: The final test in the QA lifecycle, user acceptance testing, is conducted just before the final release to assess whether the product or application can handle real-world scenarios. By replicating user behavior, it checks if the system satisfies business requirements and rejects changes if certain criteria are not met. Some forms of acceptance testing are, user acceptance testing (UAT), end-user testing, operational acceptance testing (OAT), acceptance test-driven development (ATDD) and field (acceptance) testing. Acceptance criteria are the criteria that a system or component must satisfy in order to be accepted by a user, customer, or other authorized entity.

  In systems engineering it may involve black-box testing performed on a system (for example: a piece of software, lots of manufactured mechanical parts, or batches of chemical products) prior to its delivery. In software testing the ISTQB defines acceptance as: formal testing with respect to user needs, requirements, and business processes conducted to determine whether a system satisfies the acceptance criteria and to enable the user, customers or other authorized entity to determine whether or not to accept the system. Acceptance testing is also known as user acceptance testing (UAT), end-user testing, operational acceptance testing (OAT) or field (acceptance) testing.
  A smoke test may be used as an acceptance test prior to introducing a build of software to the main testing process.
