After the system test has corrected all
or most defects, the system will be delivered to the user or customer
for acceptance testing.
Acceptance testing is basically done by the user or customer although other stakeholders may be involved as well.
The goal of acceptance testing is to establish confidence in the system.
Acceptance testing is most often focused on a validation type testing.
Acceptance testing may occur at more than just a single level, for example:
- A Commercial Off the shelf (COTS) software product may be acceptance tested when it is installed or integrated.
- Acceptance testing of the usability of the component may be done during component testing.
- Acceptance testing of a new functional enhancement may come before system testing.

The types of acceptance testing
The User Acceptance test: focuses mainly on the
functionality thereby validating the fitness-for-use of the system by
the business user. The user acceptance test is performed by the users
and application managers.
The Operational Acceptance test: also known as
Production acceptance test validates whether the system meets the
requirements for operation. In most of the organization the operational
acceptance test is performed by the system administration before the
system is released. The operational acceptance test may include testing
of backup/restore, disaster recovery, maintenance tasks and periodic
check of security vulnerabilities.
Contract Acceptance testing: It is performed
against the contract’s acceptance criteria for producing custom
developed software. Acceptance should be formally defined when the
contract is agreed.
Compliance acceptance testing: It is also known as
regulation acceptance testing is performed against the regulations which
must be adhered to, such as governmental, legal or safety regulations.
