How can you ensure user acceptance testing is conducted with the right level of user advocacy?
User acceptance testing (UAT) is a crucial stage in the software development process, where you validate that your product meets the needs and expectations of your end users. However, UAT is not just about checking the functionality and usability of your product, it is also about ensuring that you advocate for your users and their feedback throughout the process. User advocacy is the practice of empathizing with your users, understanding their goals, pain points, and preferences, and representing their voice in the design and development decisions. In this article, we will discuss how you can ensure user acceptance testing is conducted with the right level of user advocacy, and what benefits it can bring to your project.
