SWEN User Acceptance Testing

Today our team learnt how to perform a higher level of testing - User Acceptance Testing (UAT). It is recommended that this testing be done at least twice: one for the user to familiarize with the program and the other to suggest improvements on it. :P

The three different types of UAT are:
Black Box Testing - examine the input and output for errors.
White Box Testing - examine the coding placing for errors.
Regression Testing - examine if a newly added function affects old functions and causes error.

The MAIN difference between UAT and Debugging are:
UAT - looking for errors.
Debugging - fixing program errors found.
