Acceptance Testing Workshop (ATW)
Duration: 2 days | Cost: P.O.A. | download brochure
This course is currently not on our public training schedule. To enquire about running the training on your company premises (inhouse), please contact us.
Acceptance testing is the final frontier for systems implementation. Does it work? Do the expected results deliver the benefits foreseen and is the system bug free? These and many other questions are answered during the acceptance testing phase of a project and this process is critical for business users' end satisfaction.
This extensive Acceptance Testing 2-day workshop teaches business users to take responsibility for the quality of the system that they and their colleagues will ultimately be using. Having signed off the business systems specification the users must now test the systems to see if the end result of months or years of project effort are delivering the required results. It is the final frontier for project effort.
Who will benefit?
The Acceptance Testing Workshop will benefit business analysts responsible for writing acceptance criteria, business users responsible for testing the business functionality of a system and project staff involved in testing and implementing computer based systems.
Course objectives
Delegates will learn how to interpret and review a User Requirements Specification, how to devise a test plan and schedule staff, how to devise test data that will prove the correctness and integrity of the delivered system. Delegates will be familiar with a Business System Specification and its meaning. They will be able to plan and execute a User Acceptance Test for a complete system.
Learning outcomes
On completion of the Acceptance Testing workshop, delegates will be able to:
- describe where acceptance testing fits the system development lifecycle
- develop and agree an acceptance testing strategy
- develop an acceptance test plan
