In the run-up to final UAT testing, some tests will be conducted in Seattle and others in Mozambique (for details of where each test will be executed see the UAT Checklist). However prior to going live there will be a final round of UAT testing, almost all of which will be done in the VillageReach Mozambique office. If a test is also executed in Seattle that is fine, but it should not be considered "passed" until it has been verified locally.

UAT Testing Approach
Testing can take many forms. One approach is to write specific test cases (scripted tests) in advance of test sessions. Another alternative is exploratory testing, where general areas of testing are defined in advance but actual test execution is left up to the tester. Exploratory testing is more fluid and varied, exercising less predictable paths through the system. The advantage of this approach is that different scenarios are tried, which is more likely to result in identifying bugs. Because SELV has already been tested using a scripted testing approach (by ThoughtWorks), the UAT testing will primarily be exploratory:
