LOOK UP WHEN NEEDED
UAT
Users or business owners assess acceptance against goals.
An everyday example
The owner checks the renovation against agreed requirements.

- Define expected behaviorTest case
- Try and observeManual testing
- Record and fix issuesFeedback & repair
- Retest affected flowsRetest & regression
Automated checks help, while personal acceptance checks actual goals. One pass does not cover all devices, inputs, or future versions.
Where this term is useful
These are related contexts, not prerequisites.
Back in the project
When it comes up: When checking AI work, reporting issues, and retesting fixes.
What to do next: Record actions, expectations, outcomes, and evidence; retest the failure and adjacent flows.
Open the related method and stepsWhat can this analogy leave out?
AI claims, automated checks, and personal acceptance differ; coverage does not prove correctness.
Everyday examples explain roles and relationships; actual behavior follows the tool, language, or platform.
