Assuring Quality Through Acceptance Testing
Making Sure that the Business Problem is Solved
It is the Business Analyst’s job to define the
business problem to be solved by information
technology (IT) professionals . It is also the
Business Analyst’s responsibility to confirm that
the resulting solution developed by IT does, in
fact, solve the defined problem . This is done
first through testing - especially acceptance
testing - and then through monitoring of the
installed solution in the user community.
The Business Analyst is concerned not only
with the testing itself, but also with the
management and monitoring of the users
doing the acceptance testing and recording,
analysis, and evaluation of results .
