2 User Acceptance Test

2.1 Definition
The purpose of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is to ensure that the solution
performs at an acceptable level. Testing may also identify problems relating to the
usability of the solution. UAT is the final step before rolling out the solution to the end
users and is typically carried out by end users in an environment that closely models
the real world. UAT gives the project sponsor and end users confidence that the
solution being delivered meets their requirements.

This document outlines the plan for user acceptance testing of the project
deliverables. This document is a high level guide. Detailed test scripts/cases have
been developed and will be used to record the results of user testing. This document
will be used to record the project sponsor and end user sign off of the UAT.

2.2 Roles and Responsibilities

 Issues will be recorded in JIRA
(https://www.jira.is.ed.ac.uk/jira/browse/TEL002) and tracked by the Project
Manager and Business Assurance Coordinator.

 The principal technical goal of the testing is to confirm that data entered using
the Speedwell CliniQuest and QuestionBank software is recorded correctly in
the database. The business goals are to ensure operation of the software
overall is successful, which is a slightly wider scope.

2.7 Assumptions

 Integration testing of desktop package of the current v3.0 Speedwell software

(QuestionBank and MultiQuest) in TEST has been performed by Neil
McCormick and Jennifer Hill (planned for Oct 12).
 The UAT environment will be available and fully configured ahead of the UAT.
Testers’ user ids will have been authorized on the new database.
 Testers will test the functionality of the new version 3.0 of the software on the
new hosted IS database. Acceptance criteria for each requirement have been
identified.
 Resources identified in this plan are available to conduct the UAT and
address issues as they are raised by the test team.

The Project Manager must notify the Project Sponsor if any of these assumptions are
not correct before commencing the UAT.

I don’t know where in the document to put this comment so I am squeezing it in here:

Note: This is a “USER” acceptance test document. But more testing than end-users
can perform will be necessary before I’d accept it as a service. I think (?) that this will
arise in a separate document “SLD” or “SLA”. To be acceptable system needs to
assure me that it is accumulating and storing the data reliably enough, and that
access to the data is set appropriately in particular, to prevent un-authorised access,
and that the database is backed up and the schedule for this is made known to me
(and to Neil).

3 Acceptance Test Log

User testing should be based on the test scenarios and acceptance criteria identified
above. Any deviation from these scenarios should be noted here.
