In Brian Marick's Test Quadrant model, Acceptance Tests are "business facing" tests that "support the team".
Acceptance Tests are written:
- From the perspective of an “external user of the system”
- Running “life-like scenarios”
- In a “production-like test environment”.
They are the first step in the Acceptance Stage of a Deployment Pipeline, and an important one.
Acceptance Tests represent one of the key 'gates' in making progress with our Release Candidates.
This is the first time that we evaluate our software in the form that it will be deployed into Production.
