Every information system brought into service in every type of
organisation requires user acceptance testing. It is by far the most
common activity carried out by non-IT specialists. This book is designed
to be a hands-on manual for non-testing specialists to plan and carry
out an effective acceptance test of an information system. It provides a
structured and step-by-step approach to effective acceptance testing and
identifies ways of making the process as simple and cost-effective as
possible. "A UAT guide for users: that is a novel thought! This fills a
gap in my bookshelf, a volume I wish I had years ago. It would have
helped me to help the business. But more than that: it would have helped
business users to help themselves, and see that UAT is more than just a
necessary evil, but has clear purpose, methods, goals and skills. This
is a step by step guide that is clear and praise worthy. You never know,
it could be a recruiting arm for professional testers in the future,
brought in from the business." Peter Morgan, Testing Practitioner.
