Introduction to User Acceptance Testing - Online

£575 per delegate ex vat This online two-day course provides delegates with an introduction to User Acceptance Testing (UAT) activities and responsibilities based on industry best practice and utilising real-life examples.

Our online courses are all run in real time with a live trainer, who hosts video conferencing session for each lesson.

Courses are scheduled and run in the same way as traditional 'classroom' sessions, with exercises and interaction throughout, allowing delegates to ask questions and for the trainer to check understanding through the course.

The course considers how UAT differs from other forms of testing, where in the life cycle it is performed (not simply immediately prior to delivery to live operations), who performs UAT (ideally as a co-operative activity between professional testers and the future users), which are the most appropriate testing techniques, and how to apply them in practice.

This tutor-led course is highly-interactive, allowing attendees to learn from the experience of the instructor and each other, and, owing to its interactive nature, each course is restricted to a maximum of 12 delegates.

The course introduces core User Acceptance Testing (UAT) principles, techniques and responsibilities to give delegates a practical base for building their UAT skills and experience.

It looks at where UAT fits into different development life cycles, including traditional waterfall, the V-model and Agile, and how to develop an appropriate UAT approach. The course also covers test planning and estimating, defect reporting and management, test execution and progress.

The course is run over 2 days and includes all course materials.

Who Should Attend?

The course is principally aimed at testers who are moving into a User Acceptance Test management or support role and those operational staff who are seconded to the User Acceptance Test team.
It is also useful for those who are new to User Acceptance Testing such as project managers, business analysts, business managers and anyone who will be a user or customers of the systems being tested.
