When to Define Acceptance Criteria

1 pts

volume_mute

When in the project lifecycle should acceptance criteria ideally be defined?

After the system has been developed and is ready for user testing

Before the contract for the system is signed, as part of the system contract

During the final sprint before system delivery

During the first user training session after system delivery

What Acceptance Test Planning Covers

1 pts

volume_mute

The acceptance test planning stage involves deciding on several key aspects. Which of the following are typically covered in an acceptance test plan? Select all that apply.

The order in which system features will be tested

Risks to the testing process such as system crashes or inadequate performance

Required coverage of the requirements

How identified risks can be mitigated

A complete list of all bugs the system is known to contain

Resources, time, and budget for acceptance testing

Scope of Derived Acceptance Tests

1 pts

volume_mute

When deriving acceptance tests, which aspects of the system should these tests cover?

Only the non-functional requirements such as performance and security

Only the most critical functional requirements as identified by the project manager

Both functional and non-functional characteristics such as performance

Only the functional requirements listed in the system specification

Where to Run Acceptance Tests

1 pts

volume_mute

Ideally, where should acceptance tests be run?

Only on the exact hardware specified in the system contract

In the development team's testing laboratory with controlled conditions

In the actual environment where the system will be used

On cloud infrastructure to simulate scalable deployment

Explanation

Negotiating Test Results

1 pts

volume_mute

It is very unlikely that all acceptance tests will pass and there will be no problems. What happens when problems are discovered during acceptance testing?

The customer must accept the system as-is because testing is complete

The system is automatically rejected and the contract is cancelled

The development team immediately re-starts the entire development process

The developer and customer negotiate to decide if the system is good enough and how to fix identified problems

Correct Answer

Explanation

Conditional Acceptance

1 pts

volume_mute

The outcome of acceptance testing negotiations is sometimes 'conditional acceptance'. What does this mean?

The system is accepted only if it passes all 100% of the acceptance tests in a re-run

The customer accepts the system so deployment can begin, while the developer agrees to repair urgent problems and deliver a new version quickly

Acceptance is conditional on the development team replacing all developers who worked on the project

The system is rejected but the customer agrees to pay 50% of the contract price

Explanation

Why Customers May Accept Imperfect Systems

1 pts

volume_mute

Why might a customer accept a system that has not passed all its acceptance tests?

Because acceptance testing regulations allow up to 10% test failure

Because the developer has legal immunity from liability once tests begin

Because the costs of not using the software may outweigh the costs of working around problems, especially when hardware and staff training have already been paid for

Because the customer has run out of budget to extend the testing period

Explanation

Difficulty of Objective Acceptance Criteria

1 pts

volume_mute

Establishing completely objective acceptance criteria is described as difficult in practice. Why?

Customers are generally unable to articulate their requirements clearly

Regulatory bodies prohibit objective criteria to allow flexibility in contract negotiations

Objective criteria require formal mathematical proofs that are too expensive

There is often scope for argument about whether a specific test shows that a criterion has been met

What Happens if System is Rejected

1 pts

volume_mute

Complete the description of what happens at the 'accept or reject system' stage when a system is not good enough for use: "If the system is not good enough for use, further (1) is required to fix the identified problems. Once complete, the acceptance testing phase is (2)."

Explanation

Acceptance Testing as a Contractual Milestone

1 pts

volume_mute

Acceptance testing is described as implying that final payment should be made. Why is this an important aspect of the acceptance testing process for custom software?

It motivates the development team to deliver high-quality software

It ensures that acceptance testing is always conducted by independent third parties

It links the business financial transaction to the technical verification that the system does what was specified, making both parties accountable

It prevents customers from requesting any changes after acceptance
