The purpose of the UAT is to verify the total system solution and ensure that it satisfies the original business requirements. It should verify that all of the automated and manual components of the system work properly. Users (ideally, the most knowledgeable representatives from within the user community) should write most of these test plans. These users will often contract outside sources to help them develop a solid UAT. The SPMO must ensure that the outside sources develop such deliverables in conjunction with the guidelines established by the SEP guidelines and the SPMO. The UAT construction team should take into consideration each of the following areas:
Automated processes with their input/output requirements
Backup, recover, and restart processes
Compatibility issues
Control issues (e.g., user, system, data environment, outside sources)
Conversion issues
Documentation issues
External system specifications and related nonfunctional specifications
Functional tests
Interfaces with other systems
Manual procedures
Performance expectations
Screen dialogue (e.g., form, aesthetics, language, symbols)
Security issues
Storage issues
Stress testing (should dovetail the Stress Test Plan)
System interface tests
Usability issues
Volume (defaults, min, max)
