Professional, business-based User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
Post-release software defects are often considered unavoidable but are very costly. A single defect can compromise the quality of an application, consequently ruining your customer’s experience and putting your company’s reputation at stake.
Your IT team is currently doing a lot of software tests and doing a good job. However, here’s why they alone will not achieve the software quality you need. :
• Tests are done against pre-defined requirements from a developer’s point of view, and thus, the business point of view is underrepresented.
• Testing comes last in the development process and ends up overwhelming, increasing the stress and pressure to deliver on time.
• Communication gaps between the development team and business drivers make testing inefficient.
• Back-and-forth fixes after software launch can be draining and time-consuming for the team.
Relying only on end users, product owners, and analysts to UAT is very costly and inefficient. It should be managed carefully.
• These profiles have an important position in the continuing success of your business and they tend to be over-solicited. They have many important other responsibilities where their added value to the company is much better than in testing repeatedly.
• They don’t have a good understanding of testing technology and they do not really want to acquire this know-how. The defect reporting tends to be inaccurate and hence the repair by IT is more difficult.
• However, it is very important that they are included in the process and well-informed at all times to confirm their confidence in the software product.
That said, how do you solve the puzzle as a company leader?
