	4.3 Acceptance Test Techniques
		Acceptance tests are the more general fault detection mechanism in that they can be used even if the system is composed of a single (non-redundant) processor.
		An acceptance test is most effective if it is based on criteria that can be derived independently of the function being tested and can be calculated more simply that the function being tested (e.g., multiplication of a result by itself to verify the result of a square root function).
		Acceptance tests are usually used in a construct known as a recovery block.

	Acceptance Test
		Acceptance tests are different from UnitTests in that UnitTests are modeled and written by the developer of each class, while the acceptance test is at least modeled and possibly even written by the customer.
		Furthermore, at least in my experience, the acceptance tests tend to be continually negotiated and refined throughout development as requirements (i.e., stories) become clearer and the adequacies/inadequacies of the current acceptance tests are revealed.
		I'm not against acceptance tests but I don't see how you could have a comprehensive acceptance test set for any piece of software that is supposed to deal with people (instead of other programs) and be developed iteratively.

	CMPUT 401 Course Project - Acceptance Test
		Acceptance testing is the process that a client uses to (weakly) verify that the delivered and installed product is ready to be put into production use.
		Include tests for all of the functions, including boundary cases where appropriate, such as typing an entry in a data field which is longer than the space allocated for it in the user interface.
		Fault diagnosis can be included as part of the acceptance testing script, so that when a test fails, some further diagnostic tests are performed to obtain information so that the supplier can narrow down the source of the failure.

	Acceptance-Test-Plan
		Acceptance testing measures the goals of the whole project described in the Project Plan [PROJPLAN] and the Requirement Specification [REQSPEC].
		The acceptance testing also requires that the results of system testing must be presented as one criteria for successful exit of the project.
		Therefore this acceptance test is designed to test the organization and presentation of all documentation provided by the project group.

	Introduction to Acceptance Tests as Requirements Artifacts
		In traditional software development acceptance tests are typically thought of as testing artifacts, which they are, but when you step back and think about it acceptance tests really are first class requirements artifacts because they describe the criteria by which stakeholders will determine whether the system meets their needs.
		Figure 1 and Figure 2 each depict acceptance test descriptions (both test descriptions are shortened for the sake of brevity, both would need to be expanded with more steps, and/or support by other test cases, to truly validate the functionality described).
		Acceptance tests should be fully automated so that you can run them as part of your application's regression test suite.

		User acceptance testing is performed by the 'end users' to ensure that the individual elements (menu item, screen, report) and the overall system, provide the desired result or functionality.
		Any units rejected during user acceptance testing will be returned to the appropriate stage, for correction of the code or the design.
		A second full or partial test of the system or suite may be needed to ensure that the code has been correctly copied, prior to the bulk live running.

		Acceptance tests are explained in general and with example test scripts.
		The acceptance test suite is probably the customer's most important design artifact, because it encodes the detailed knowledge of what the application is supposed to do.

		Following the lead of federal courts operating under Daubert's broad gatekeeper mandate, Frye jurisdictions are increasingly applying their tests for the admissibility of expert evidence to civil cases, especially toxic tort cases.
		An alternative adopted by some courts is to apply the general acceptance test only to novel scientific evidence, but to subject social science evidence to a separate reliability test under state versions of Federal Rule of Evidence 702.
		Epidemiology, DNA testing, and other methodologies are generally accepted by the scientific community, but only if the relevant studies or tests are conducted properly, and only if the person relying on the methodology has extrapolated (or reasoned) in a generally accepted way from the study or test results to a conclusion.
