User Acceptance Testing for pros by pros
The concept of our Acceptance testing training is learning by doing. The training has 2 days of sessions with a heavy emphasis on practical exercises. Through these exercises the participants learn and improve their skills in testing, test design and importantly, in thinking skills too.
For doing UAT, It’s invaluable to have an idea about a “tester’s mindset” in order to know where to concentrate and how to conduct testing. Of course we cannot make anyone a professional tester in two days, but a combination of great domain knowledge that your personnel already have and some new tools and techniques can go a long way.
The exercises are arranged in a path that gradually forms a complete picture of UAT and what it contains.
You’ll learn
- In the first day we start the exercises with tools and systems that we provide, which are usually simplified apps and systems to facilitate learning. When we progress in the training, more complex and life-like examples are used.
- In the day two we use, if possible, some of your own systems as a learning tool. This enables the persons that are attending to use their domain knowledge and mix that with the newly learned things. We end the training with a half day testing session and use everything we have learned during the days to simulate as complete UAT experience as possible.
