There is a common misconception that launching a new system isn\u2019t just about writing code, when it\u2019s really about making sure it works for the people who actually use it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s where the concept of <\/span>User Acceptance Testing (UAT)<\/span><\/b> comes in. It\u2019s one of the final and most critical stages in any successful software implementation or digital transformation project.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this blog, we explain what UAT is, why it matters, what customers can expect during the process, and how it fits into the bigger picture alongside strategies like microservices and A\/B testing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
