UAT has always been clunky and expensive, but when you only had to test updates once a year (or less) it didn’t really matter. Now that you’re migrating to cloud-based apps where the vendor is free to (and does) release new software every month, and now that the volume of apps most businesses are using is rising fast, it’s time for a purpose-built solution that lets you rapidly test new updates without missing anything.
Awesome UAT gives you fast and accurate feedback, speeding up test cycles and reducing the number of cycles you need to get software out the door with minimal defects.
Our UAT solution makes testing faster and easier for business users, disrupting their lives less and making it easier for you to get them to do UAT in the first place.
Vendors are releasing updates more frequently than ever. Our UAT solution helps you keep pace without breaking a sweat.
Get complete control of your UAT process with powerful management tools, automated regression testing, and rapid issue fixing.
Our UAT solution makes it easy for IT to manage the entire process, delivering great results without breaking a sweat.
A single view of all your tests and all your feedback, including resource management, issue triage, defect management, and status updates from your developers.
A lot of what people consider UAT is actually regression testing. With our solution you can automate this, so you and your business users can focus on genuine UAT.
Deliver software 60% faster. Enough said.
UAT is traditionally the most expensive testing because it requires business users to give up their time to do it. Doing UAT faster, and with fewer cycles, reduces costs and makes for happier users.
The solution works seamlessly to help us provide the documentation we need and the visibility and management of our UAT process.
Business users have enough to do without adding difficult UAT to the list.
It’s that intuitive. Say goodbye to recording long training videos that nobody will watch, and hello to users getting up and running in 30 minutes.
A lot of what people consider UAT is actually regression testing. With our solution you can automate this, so you and your business users can focus on genuine UAT.
Test results are automatically captured, and both users and test managers can edit, annotate, and enhance feedback to make it more meaningful. You’ll never have to ask a business user what their feedback meant again.
Just add UAT. Create fully illustrated and editable training guides, which can be written or animated. Perfect for new starters, CPD, and reducing the IT team’s to-do list.
The first few UAT releases were completed up to 50% quicker than before the Original Software solutions were installed.
Your tech stack isn’t limited to just one application. That’s why our UAT solution has been built to work across any and all of them. So when you need to test across your ERP system, web portal, green screen app or any other integrated system, whether cloud or on-premise, we can help.

Qualify
The brains of the operation, where you manage the entire testing process, from test creation to defect management.
TestAssist
Unobtrusive screen capture and markup that makes it easy for users to perform tests, and easy for you to see their results. It even turns test results into training guides and reports for vendors.
TestDrive
Rapidly test existing software using code-free automation, so your users can focus their attention on the areas that really need it.
In a single test you can switch between multiple applications, including the MS Office suite, to capture the full process.
Test any application. At all. Browser-based, desktop applications, even green screen emulators.
Once a test has been recorded, both business users and IT can amend and mark up the test to add more detail and make sure feedback is as clear as possible.
From test cases, to change requests, to the technical specs of the apps involved in a test, our solution captures it all so the right people see it at the right time.
Test results can be saved in Word or as PDFs. You can even use animations to create training guides.
Gather insight from your business users with surveys that help you make the right decisions.
You gain a powerful view of all work in progress, allocated tasks, and upcoming projects – even including timesheet data, if you need it.
All our software uses role-based security, with a full range of accumulated permissions.
Whoever does it needs good knowledge of business processes – otherwise, the test cases won’t accurately reflect what business users do. The users themselves will know, of course, but their time is precious. If nobody else has the knowhow needed, your best option is to document business processes by monitoring and recording what users do. Once that’s done, though, you’ll still need to check that users are happy with the nature and extent of the test cases.
Other software tests are focused on whether an application works functionally – does this button work, does that menu show the right things, and so forth. UAT asks the question: “can you actually do your job with this software?” Looking at things from that angle will often reveal issues or changes that other tests would not reveal, helping you avoid releasing software that looks fine, but actually stops people doing their jobs.
Anything that helps them get through the test faster, while ensuring they still do the test right, is a winner. Look at how they give feedback – how much effort do they have to put into it? Can you capture any of that without them having to lift a finger? Can you make the way they give feedback consistent? Ideally, the user experience of UAT should be as close to doing their actual job as possible.
The only people who can do UAT effectively are the users. Temp staff aren’t familiar with your business or its processes, so there’s no way they can do the tests. It also removes the actual business users from the process, making them less receptive to software updates. If you find you need additional resources to keep things moving while users are doing UAT, then get the temps to fill in the users’ day jobs.
Sort of. A lot of what people consider UAT is technically regression testing – that is, testing all the bits of the application that haven’t changed, to make sure they still work. These can be automated. But for all the new elements of the software, automation would be very tricky to do – and, of course, you still need to answer the question of whether a human can use the software to do their job. That has to be done by a human being – but the right software can help make it faster and smoother for everyone.
