Introduction

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for SELV is intended as an opportunity for HSG ensure the system (including both the website and reporting) is ready to be used by VillageReach and PAV staff. Prior to UAT, ISG has conducted functional testing of the individual components of SELV, as well as basic end-to-end tests from data entry through reporting. UAT moves beyond basic functional validation to focus on actual user behavior in the field, ensuring that the overall system meets user needs and works as intended.

Roles & Responsibilities

HSG & ISG are jointly responsible for UAT testing, however ultimately HSG is responsible for approving the results of UAT and deciding to roll-out to production. Roles & responsibilities are as follows:

_{RACI Definitions:}

_{Responsible: Those who do the work to achieve the task.There is at least one role with a participation type of responsible, although others can be delegated to assist in the work required (see also RASCI below for separately identifying those who participate in a supporting role).}

_{Accountable: (also approver or final approving authority)The one ultimately answerable for the correct and thorough completion of the deliverable or task, and the one who delegates the work to those responsible.[7] In other words, an accountable must sign off (approve) on work that responsible provides. There must be only one accountable specified for each task or deliverable.}

_{Consulted: (sometimes counsel)Those whose opinions are sought, typically subject matter experts; and with whom there is two-way communication.}

_{Informed: Those who are kept up-to-date on progress, often only on completion of the task or deliverable; and with whom there is just one-way communication.} 

Location

All UAT testing 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 Strategy

Validations fall into four major categories. The testing strategy for each category is listed below.

Integration Testing

Prior to UAT, ISG has tested software.
