Tools for User Acceptance Testing
A few tools used for UAT are listed below:
1. Marker.io: Report visual bugs straightforwardly into your devices, without leaving your site or web application
- It lets users post messages, comments, and events to a “hub” hosted on Google Analytics, with an optional delay between updates which ensures only one message gets sent per second.
- This delays your data loss by eliminating any accidental user interactions that might interrupt their Web App flow.
2. FullStory: Enables clients to track and screen every client action. From snaps to page advances, everything is listed consequently.
- It allows you to visualize user acceptance and rejection through some graphs, similar in functionality to GraphPad but with a lot more flexibility.
- The data can be viewed either via interactive dashboards like Scrum or by drawing on individual parts of it that are then visualized along with actual user feedback using your favorite software It makes this kind of structured test much easier than one would typically think, perhaps even less frustrating.
3. Hotjar: Uncovers the internet-based conduct and voice of your clients. Hotjar provides you with the ‘10,000-foot view’ of how to further develop your site’s client experience and execution/transformation rates.
- This application runs a service that keeps track of an online database of people who have ever viewed your website.
- The following page summarizes what Hotjars offer and provides tips on creating websites using them.
- Also, It allows users to run tests from a command line and it does a great job at testing various features that may be added later on.
4. CrazyEgg: A web-based device that screens individual pages from your site, providing you with a breakdown of where various guests have clicked and on what part of the screen.
- The user will need to build a class with all needed methods and return values along its arguments so that this can be easily tested by other developers or clients/users using different APIs like Selenium Server test suites.
- It comes in two flavors – one which builds on top of Mocha Test Suite i.e. WebDriver, and the other has just built upon MuleTest’s framework but adds some custom features such as implementation through Sockets, etc.
5. Qualaroo: Allows users to easily test their Web Apps.
- Qualaroo is a Python library that allows users to easily test their Web Apps.
- Common data structures can be created in Python which allows us to directly run our tests against different server configurations using QA tools like RSpec and TDDRunner.
6. Sentry: A web interface that allows users to write acceptance tests on their own
- It’s simple but effective and has been accepted into several national standards bodies such as ISO 9001 and ANSI X9-TRIAMS.
- Sentry provides a web interface that allows users to write acceptance tests and upload them by selecting an option on their dashboard from the toolbar menu with various test cases selected during setup.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) – Software Testing
UAT is context-dependent and UAT plans are prepared based on requirements and are not required to perform all kinds of user acceptance tests and are even coordinated and contributed by the testing team.
