User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is a structured process where real users validate that a solution meets their requirements. UAT provides final validation before product release, focusing on end-to-end scenarios, business value and acceptance criteria.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Executable approach: can be applied and produces an outcome.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
User acceptance testing checks with business owners or intended users whether a system meets the agreed business requirements for operational use.
User acceptance testing became established in software delivery as an approval activity between development and business stakeholders; ISTQB places it among acceptance tests based on user and business requirements.
Derive executable scenarios from acceptance criteria, run them with appropriate business participants, record deviations, and decide whether to approve release.
A testable condition that must be met for a deliverable to be accepted.
A realistic flow used to check the system’s expected business value.
A reasoned decision to accept, rework, or reject the deliverable.
UAT connects technical delivery with business ownership and keeps a releasable system aligned with real operational needs.
