What type of tests are typically performed during User Acceptance Testing?

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) focuses on validating that the system meets the business requirements and is acceptable for end-users. It is conducted in a real-world environment and simulates typical use cases to ensure that the functionalities perform as expected in practice.

Functional tests are designed to verify that the system operates according to specified requirements. During UAT, users will assess the application against their needs and specifications, which typically involves checking various features and operations to ensure they function correctly and efficiently from the end-user perspective. This testing helps confirm that the solution is user-friendly and meets the criteria required for business processes.

Performance tests, stress tests, and unit tests serve different purposes. Performance tests simulate various loads to check how the system behaves under high-stress conditions, stress tests focus specifically on breaking points of a system, and unit tests are used to validate individual components or pieces of code. While they are essential in the overall testing lifecycle, they are not the primary focus during the UAT phase.
