ISTQB Acceptance Testing Certification is designed for all professionals involved in user acceptance testing (UAT), contractual and regulatory acceptance testing, and alpha and beta testing. Your entire team should be certified in ISTQB Acceptance Testing, not just full-time software testers.
Why is Acceptance Testing Important?
Assessment and validation of the business solution are important and frequent activities of product owners (POs), business analysts (BAs), and testers. Part of their responsibilities is to define acceptance criteria for the requirements, regardless of the type of development lifecycle – Agile or traditional. Acceptance criteria are defined by decomposing the requirements into a more atomic and testable form. Test cases are then designed to verify the solution against the criteria. Designing acceptance tests from acceptance criteria should be a highly collaborative activity, involving business analysts and testers, to ensure high business value of the acceptance testing phase, and mitigating the risks related to product release.
