A User Acceptance Testing (UAT) template typically outlines the details of the testing process, including test scenarios, test cases, execution results, feedback, and any identified issues. It provides a structured format for capturing UAT activities and outcomes.
Below is a general structure for a UAT template:
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Template
Project Name: [Name of the project or software being tested]
UAT Start Date: [Start date]
UAT End Date: [End date or expected end date]
UAT Lead: [Name of the person responsible for overseeing UAT]
UAT Participants: [Names of users or stakeholders involved in the UAT]
UAT Test Scenarios and Test Cases
For each test scenario, you might have one or more associated test cases:
| Test Scenario ID | Test Scenario Description | Test Case ID | Test Case Description | Expected Result | Actual Result | Status (Pass/Fail) | Comments/Issues |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UAT01 | Register a new user | UAT01-01 | Enter valid user details and submit | User is registered successfully | [Outcome] | Pass/Fail | [Any issues or feedback] |
| UAT01-02 | Enter invalid email format and submit | Error message displayed | [Outcome] | Pass/Fail | [Any issues or feedback] | ||
| UAT02 | Log in to the system | UAT02-01 | Enter valid credentials | User is logged in successfully | [Outcome] | Pass/Fail | [Any issues or feedback] |
| … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … |
Feedback & Issues
For detailed tracking of any feedback or issues identified during UAT:
| Issue ID | Description | Severity (Low/Med/High) | Test Scenario ID | Test Case ID | Status (Open/Closed) | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 001 | [Issue description, e.g., “Error message not clear during failed login.”] | Med | UAT02 | UAT02-01 | Open/Closed | [How the issue was addressed or plans to address it] |
| … | … | … | … | … | … | … |
UAT Sign-off
Approval: [Approved/Not Approved]
Date: [Date of sign-off]
UAT Lead: [Name]
Comments: [Any final comments or notes about the UAT process]
This is a basic structure for a UAT template. Depending on the complexity of the project and the needs of the organization, the template can be expanded or modified. Tools like Excel, Google Sheets, or dedicated test management tools can be used to manage and track the UAT process using such a template.
