[Year 12 SofDev] U4O2: Acceptance testing

[Mark]

I've found it to be a grey area when researching it.
"User Acceptance Testing", I've found, always refers to having a real
end-user test the software.
But I've seen "Acceptance Testing" being used to refer to formal testing by
the client, as well as being used to mean "User Acceptance Testing" in
other places.
Sadly, The Real World (TM) is not as neat and tidy as a textbook is.

Cheers
Mark
