Course Overview
Based on industry best practice and utilising real-life examples of projects that our consultants have worked on, this 2-day course will provide delegates with an introduction to those activities and responsibilities that are specific to User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
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 two-day tutor-led course includes slides, exercises and practical work, and uses a hands-on approach based on group exercises and discussions. It 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 18 delegates. It looks at where UAT fits into different development life cycles, including traditional waterfall, the V-model and Agile and how to develop and appropriate UAT approach. The course also covers test planning and estimating, defect reporting and management, test execution and progress. 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. Each delegate will be provided with their own workbook containing copies of all slides and supporting text. Digital delegate workbook, templates and examples will also be provided for future reference. Who is the course for?

The training improved my awareness of how UAT fits within the overall testing lifecycle. I found the examples practical and useful in applying UAT concepts to real testing scenarios.

The training was well structured and clearly explained core UAT concepts in a practical, easy-to-follow way. Karen was clear, engaging, and used relevant examples that made the exercises easy to understand and apply.

Karen was able to bring the Course to life and provide the wider context. I would like to mention that course material could have been updated and available to the candidates (Word options, not only PDF). Did not want to deduct the mark to Karen, as she was great, , but the fact that we did not have all material available for the exercise meant that day two was not as good as day one. Many Thanks

The course was very informative and gave a deep understanding of the principles of UAT and methods to make the UAT that we do more thoughtfully planned and thoroughly executed.
There were tips and tricks that I will be using from this course in my future testing.

The course was very interesting and very well presented by John. The one main thing I wanted to gain from the training was to expand on my current knowledge of UAT, especially considering I am fairly new to testing. I can say this has definitely been the case, I have not only learnt new topics or new ways of doing things but I have also gained a better understand on the current way we do things. I think even learning the correct terminology for certain topics has been super helpful. I feel like this training course is going to improve the way I not only conduct UAT but improve when it comes to planning and my communication.

I appreciate John’s explaination on the importance of UAT specifically for me who is only on the user of things and uses our system on a daily basis.
