Acceptance Testing Service

It's the final step before a product can be launched.

When Do You Need Acceptance Testing?

Acceptance testing is the final stage of testing software before it is released to the public. As soon as a company decides that the product is ready for widespread usage, acceptance testing must be conducted. It is the involvement of a focus group - real users - that makes the acceptance testing procedure unique.

In large companies, acceptance tests are conducted in-house, and employees are offered the opportunity to try out a product. However, there are a few downsides to this practice. It is possible for the product team to miss some defects due to its biased viewpoint. Furthermore, if the employees aren't the target audience, they will interact with the software differently than end-users. In addition, professional QA engineers notice problems and defects that aren't readily apparent. Make sure you involve professionals before you release a product.

For Development & Product Companies

  • A common practice for software development companies is to involve independent QA experts before delivering software to a client. In this case, alpha testing will be conducted to verify that the product meets the acceptance criteria. The same applies to companies preparing software for market launch.

For Companies That Outsource Development

  • If a client outsources software product development, they may wish to receive a third-party opinion on its quality before the product is released. In this case, we serve as a beta team - a group of people that can provide an independent assessment based solely on their interaction with this software product.

There are two commonly used types of acceptance testing – alpha and beta testing.


Obtaining feedback on a software product before its release is one of the best practices. Alpha testers and beta testers are often the first real users who provide value with their independent opinions. Making final improvements before launch can make all the difference.

While they have the same purpose, beta and alpha testing differ in their approach to a product. When outsourced QA companies cover acceptance testing, they usually do alpha testing for product and development companies and beta testing for clients who outsource their development.

What Do You Need for Acceptance Testing?

In software quality, the acceptable can mean many different things. In order to determine whether a product is ready for release or requires further improvements, the testing team relies on specific documentation – acceptance testing criteria.

At the beginning of the testing process, the acceptance criteria are documented. During acceptance testing, a QA team examines the complete functionality of the product. Acceptance criteria become benchmarks for its verification. There is a possibility that not all bugs can be fixed before launch. Therefore, they can specify that a product should not have any critical defects, but only a limited number of minor ones.

By defining clearly what 'readiness' means, acceptance testing criteria prevent release delays. If you do not have acceptance criteria, our QA team can create them based on our previous experience with similar products.
