[Year 12 SofDev] SD exam - C14a

[Adrian Janson]

I agree with your interpretation Mark - user acceptance testing refers to
the client (those who have initiated and paid for the software to be
developed) and is their opportunity to give feedback on whether the solution
actually does what they asked the developers to make it do.

Who should be involved in acceptance testing?
 
This is a bit of an ambiguous one to me, since the in some places
"acceptance testing" is used as a synonym for  "user acceptance testing".
 
So to some people it could refer to the client like Dr Fischer, to prove
that planned functionality actually exists, or a typical end-user like an
asthmatic, to see if the software is acceptable to its average users.
 
In the end, I opted for Dr Fischer, in the assumption that "user acceptance
testing" does emphasise the user rather than the client.
 
Did anyone else wonder about this possible difficulty in interpretation?
