acceptance testing. (1) testing conducted to determine whether a system satisfies its acceptance criteria and to enable the customer to determine whether to accept the system (IEEE 1012-2024 IEEE Standard for System, Software, and Hardware Verification and Validation, 3) (2) formal testing conducted to enable a user, customer, or other authorized entity to determine whether to accept a system or component (IEEE 1012-2024 IEEE Standard for System, Software, and Hardware Verification and Validation, 3.1) See Also: acceptance test, validation test


qualification testing. (1) testing conducted to determine whether a system or component is suitable for operational use (ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 Systems and software engineering--Vocabulary) (2) testing conducted on a hardware element, software element, or system to evaluate conformance with specified requirements (IEEE 1012-2024 IEEE Standard for System, Software, and Hardware Verification and Validation, 3.1) See Also: acceptance testing, development testing, operational testing


development testing. (1) formal or informal testing conducted during the development of a system or component, usually in the development environment by the developer (ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 Systems and software engineering-Vocabulary) (2) testing conducted to establish whether a new software product or software-based system (or components of it) satisfies its criteria (ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 Systems and software engineering-Vocabulary) Note: The criteria will vary based on the level of test being performed. See Also: acceptance testing, operational testing, qualification testing


operational testing. (1) testing conducted to evaluate a system or component in its operational environment (ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017 Systems and software engineering--Vocabulary) See Also: development testing, acceptance testing, qualification testing


acceptance test. (1) test of a system or functional unit usually performed by the purchaser on his premises after installation with the participation of the vendor to help ensure that the contractual requirements are met (ISO/IEC 2382:2015 Information technology -- Vocabulary) See Also: acceptance testing, validation test


test sub-process. (1) test management and dynamic (and static) test processes used to perform a specific test level (e.g. system testing, acceptance testing) or test type (e.g. usability testing, performance testing) normally within the context of an overall test process for a test project (ISO/IEC 29110-5-1-2:2025 Systems and software engineering — Life cycle profiles for very small entities (VSEs) — Part 5-1-2: Software engineering guidelines for the generic Basic profile, 3.45) Note: Depending on the life cycle model used, test sub-processes are also typically called test phases, test levels, test stages or test tasks. Syn: test subprocess


UAT. (1) user acceptance testing (IEEE 1012-2024 IEEE Standard for System, Software, and Hardware Verification and Validation, 3.2)
