Execute User Acceptance Tests

When the application as a whole has been validated, you need to make sure that the functionality provided is acceptable to the business users. Hopefully, the business user has been engaged all along, approving at each phase of the project to make sure that there are no surprises. In the User Acceptance testing process, open the deployment up to a larger community of trained users and ask them to simulate running their business. User Acceptance testing should be designed to simulate live business as closely as possible. Complete this process by having the user community representative (business user) approve the acceptance test results. Figure 38 illustrates this process.
