It’s time to make your UAT awesome
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.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is User Acceptance Testing (UAT)?
User acceptance testing is a type of software testing that verifies if the software meets the requirements of the user and is acceptable for use. UAT is a crucial phase in software development where end-users evaluate the system’s functionality and usability. It involves testing the software in a real-world environment to ensure that it meets the users’ requirements and expectations. During UAT, users perform various tests, including functionality testing, usability testing, and performance testing, to identify any issues or discrepancies. The feedback gathered during UAT helps developers make necessary improvements and ensures that the software is ready for deployment. Ultimately, UAT plays a vital role in ensuring that the software meets the users’ needs and delivers a high-quality user experience.
-
Who should prepare test cases for users doing UAT?
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.
-
Why do we need to do UAT when the IT team, or software vendor, has already tested the software?
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.
-
How can we make things easier for users when they are doing UAT?
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.
-
Is it better to get temp staff in to do UAT, or to do users’ jobs while they do UAT?
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.
-
Can you automate UAT?
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.
